When asked how to explain God to a child, Dunedin rhetorically asks if it would "not be enough to tell a child that God is his Creator...the author and giver of all good." He says to demonstrate unseen forces by wind, electricity, and thoughts. He also recommends using Proverbs 20:27, "the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord," to instruct on conscience. Written from Auckland Castle, in County Durham, England.
