Hughes ' comprehension of his aunt 's explanation about salvation revival was based on his concept because he was so young; therefore, it made him come away and feel differently about God. Hughes was eager to see what his aunt told him that if he was saved from sin, then he will see a light and something will happen to him inside, and God will be with him from then on (Hughes 549).

I also find it difficult for it to be around the time of the enlightened philosophers and for none of them to mention Jesus in their writings.
