We have always thought that it was sometimes a courageous act, and, at least, a simple and useful deed, worthy of the sympathetic attention which duty accepted and fulfilled merits.

我们倒一向认为深入观察有时是一种勇敢的行为，至少也是一种朴素有益的行动，这和接受并完成任务是同样值得加以注意并寄予同情的。

Then is God perfectly simple and true both in word and deed; he changes not; he deceives not, either by sign or word, by dream or waking vision.

那么，神绝对言行一致、简朴真实；他不会变动不居；他不会谎话连篇，无论之于行动还是之于言语，无论是在五里梦中还是在清醒时分，他都不会撒谎。
