Cuthbert's hallowed shrine, and they now sing the uncreated song. For they have joined that choir invisible whose voices, trained by God, blend in perfect unison, but not in time; for they reckon not by days and years where they have gone to dwell. It may be set down as certain that I would never have won them back to church had it not been that I abandoned argument and adopted friendship.

"Now his beloved body, my dear brethren and fellow-citizens, lies buried in the sands of an unfrequented sea." There is suppressed emotion. "And as for man," chants the harmonious choir, "his days are as grass." "As a flower of the field," sounds the bass.
We have lots and lots of things to do at home to help papa and mamma, and all the village people to look after, and the schools and the choir and the church. You must see the church, Celestina. 'It is just almost, at least perfect, added Biddy enthusiastically, 'compared with poor old Seacove!
