Eliphalet Pemberton. I wish all ministers were as good and simple and pure-hearted as the Rev. Eliphalet Pemberton. And I wish all the young people thought as much about their elders as you do, Miss Myrtle Hazard. We that are old love little acts of kindness.

Then will the tongues of the inmates of Paradise utter your praise and magnify your names amidst them who have drawn nigh unto God.” Beware lest ye barter away the River that is life indeed for that which the souls of the pure-hearted detest.

Every time a bird chirps or a squirrel barks she knows what it says.

I tell you, child, I hoped very much that I should find some glaring incongruity in her conduct which would have sanctioned my skepticism.

But only Sir Lancelot knew that Sir Galahad was the boy-knight he had left behind him in the quiet old abbey.
"No, no, dear little Alice," replied Grandfather. "Even if there were any witches, they would flee away from the presence of a pure-hearted child.
