"He told me, with the utmost simplicity and truth, quite superior, or rather inferior, to any thing that is called humility, that he was “deficient in intellect. The Lord had made him so. Yet he supposed the Lord had cared for him as for another. "I have always been so," said he, "from my childhood; I never had much mind; I was not like other children; I am weak in the head; It was the Lord's will, I suppose." And there he was to prove the truth of his words. He was a metaphysical puzzle to me. I have rarely met a fellow man on such promising ground --- it was so simple and sincere and so true, all that he said."
