"Aw, John, it may be a sight better, for we be promised 'there shall be no sea there, thank God! no freezing, drowning men and no weeping wives. I do think of that when you are out in the frost and storm, John, and the thought be heaven itself." "My dear, the sea be God's own highway. There be wonders by the sea. Was not St. John sent to the sea-side for the Revelations?
The prayer-stone is reverently touched to lips, cheeks, and forehead at the finish of prayers, and then carefully wrapped up and stowed away until praying-time comes round again.
