It is that I have kept the faith one year more, and that I am twelve months nearer my heavenly reward. That's it, isn't it?" Uncle Zed pushed his glasses up on his forehead to better see his company, especially Mildred. Mrs. Trent made the proper introduction, then lifted the picnic basket from the table to a corner. "We're just going to spend an hour or so with you," explained Mrs. Trent.
Dorian read again: "'The region of true religion and the region of a completer science are one. Oliver Lodge." "You see one of the foremost scientists of the day agrees with Brigham Young," said Uncle Zed. "I think the next one corroborates some of our doctrine also."
Thur wur two or dree gentlemen in, an' thay larfed at the fizzle an' I. It seemed to meak me veel merryish, an' I zed, "What's to pay, young 'ooman?" She sed, "Thirteen shillin's, sur." "Thirteen scaramouches!" I sed. "What vor?"
Uncle Zed had left with the Bishop a written statement, not in the form of a will, wherein he told what disposition was to be made of his simple belongings. The house, with its few well tilled acres, was to go to the ward for the use of any worthy poor whom the Bishop might designate. Everything in the house should be at the disposal of Dorian Trent.
If her be, do 'ee want to shutt 'un?" "Thee not knaw!" says Bill Blacksmith, just the zame as I be a tullin of it: "whai, man, us expex Tam Faggus, and zum on us manes to shutt 'un." "Shutt 'un wi'out a warrant!" says I: "sure 'ee knaws better nor thic, Bill! A man mayn't shutt to another man, wi'out have a warrant, Bill. Warship zed so, last taime I zeed un, and nothing to the contrairy."
He took from the basket a small package, unwrapped it, and handed a book to the man who was seventy-five years old. "I couldn't do much by way of the eats," said Dorian, "so my present is this." "'Drummond's Natural Law in the Spiritual World'" read Uncle Zed. "Why, Dorian, this is fine of you. How could you guess my wishes so nicely. For a long time, this is just the book I have wanted."
Dorian would have to have time to assimilate the idea; meanwhile, he had another question: "Uncle Zed, why are there classes among members of our Church?" "Classes? What do you mean?" "Well, the rich do not associate with the poor nor the learned with the unlearned. I know, of course, that this is the general rule in the world, but I think it should be different in the Church."
Advancement in any line of progress is made possible by some directing power either seen or unseen. A man cannot simply grow better and better until in his own right he enters the kingdom of God'." "But, Uncle Zed, are we not taught that we must work out our own salvation?" asked Dorian. "That is also scriptural." "Yes; but wait; I shall come to that later.
"Now, wait; it's a good thing that you nor anybody else can prevent me from passing on. I've wanted to live long enough to get rid of the fear of death. I have reached that point now, and so I am ready at any time, thank the Lord." Uncle Zed was beautiful to look upon in the clear whiteness of his person and the peaceful condition of his spirit.
The party broke up early, as it was a busy season with them all. Dorian walked home with Uncle Zed, then he had a mind to run over to Carlia's. He could not forget about her absence nor about the present she had sent. He had never read the story, and he would like to read it to Carlia. She had very little time, he realized, which was all the more reason for his making time to read it to her.
