"You're the loyalest and best thing I ever knew. And and if you aren't careful I'll I'll give you one of my daubs after all. Come along. Let's go and look at the new church.

Repentance carries with it a Divine rhetoric, and persuades Christ to forgive multitudes of sins committed against him. Say not with thyself, To-morrow I will repent; for it is thy duty to do it daily.
Truly, the soul-saving business is a'thegither fa'n to a low ebb, as Master Tummas says somewhere!" "Well, but," asked Crossthwaite, "was not that man, at least, splendid?"
