We should not even try to think what He looks like . But , Felix , you may be sure that God is infinitely more beautiful and loving and tender and kind than anything we can imagine of Him . Never believe anything else , my boy . As for this -- this SACRILEGE -- take it and burn it . '' We did not know what a sacrilege meant , but we knew that Mr. Marwood had declared that the picture was not like God . That was enough for us .

The minister 's words had removed from our minds the bitter belief that God was like that picture ; but on something deeper and more enduring than mind an impression had been made that was never to be removed . The mischief was done . From that day to this the thought or the mention of God brings up before us involuntarily the vision of a stern , angry , old man . Such was the price we were to pay for the indulgence of a curiosity which each of us , deep in our hearts , had , like Sara Ray , felt ought not to be gratified . `` Mr. Marwood told me to burn it , '' said Felix . `` It does n't seem reverent to do that , '' said Cecily . `` Even if it is n't God 's picture , it has His name on it .
