Answer.—This utterance of Christ is a confirmation of the statement of Peter, when Christ asked: Whom do you believe Me to be? and Peter answered: I believe that “Thou art the Son of the living God.” Then Christ said to him: “Thou art Peter” —for Cephas in Aramaic means rock—“and upon this rock I will build My church.” For the others in answer to Christ said that He was Elias, and some said John the Baptist, and some others Jeremias or one of the Prophets.
First she turned red, then she turned pale, and Captain Cephas thought she was about to fall. But before she could do this the stranger had her in his arms. She opened her eyes, which for a moment she had closed, and, gazing into his face, she put her arms around his neck.
But Charlotte made no reply. Her dusky skirts swept around the bushes at the corner of the road, and Sylvia hurried tremulously after her. Neither of them dreamed that Barnabas watched them, standing in one of the front rooms of his new house. He had gone in there when he fled from Cephas Barnard's, and had not yet been home.
"No, sir," promptly replied Captain Cephas, "I don't go to see no Mrs. Trimmer. You can see both of them just the same as you can see one they're all along the same way. I'll go cut the Christmas tree." "All right," said Captain Eli. "It don't make no difference to me which does which. But if I was you, cap'n, I'd cut a good big tree, because we might as well have a good one while we're about it."
You can't go on adding to the party, though, as if it was a candy-pull! We cannot take Lucy Morrill and Phoebe Day and Cephas Cole, because it would be too hard on the horse; and besides, I might get embarrassed at the town clerk's office and marry the wrong girl; or you might swop me off for Cephas! But I'll tell Ellen if you say so; she's got plenty of grit." "Don't joke about it, Mark, don't.
Paul writes, "Every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" "For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?" "I pray you," said Luther, "leave my name alone, and do not call yourselves Lutherans, but Christians. Who is Luther?
Deacon Ranney was to have taken me and provided for my temporal and spiritual wants during grandmother's absence, but at the last moment the deacon came down with one of his spells of quinsy, and no other alternative remained but to pack me off to Nashua, where my Uncle Cephas lived.
"I don't rightly know, Suh," says he; "but you can send up a call, Suh, from the desk there, and " "Ah, let's not disturb the operator," says I. "Give a guess." "I'm thinking she'll be taking her drive, Suh," says Cephas, blinkin' stupid. "Then I'll have to go up and wait," says I. "She'd be mighty sore on us both if she missed me. Up, Cephas!" "Yes, Suh," says he, pullin' the lever.
Captain Eli seated himself, and looked ponderingly into the fire. "You're right, cap'n," said he. "We'd have to ship some woman to take care of her. Of course, it wouldn't be no use to ask Mrs. Crumley?" Captain Cephas laughed. "I should say not." "And there doesn't seem to be anybody else," said his companion. "Can you think of anybody, cap'n?"
Now then, will you do me a favor?" "Certainly, sir, anything you want." "I merely want you to keep what you have told me to yourself for the present." "Oh, that's easy unless somebuddy tries to git me into trouble." "I don't think that will happen if you keep your mouth shut." "Then I'll be as mum as an oyster," answered Cephas Carboy decidedly.
