"Yes, Miss Lucy, glasses," was Cicely's persistent answer. "Not such like as I works with, my dear: them is earthly glasses. But there is heavenly glasses, and you can't rend the Book without, and you must ask Him for them. He is sure to give them if you ask Him.

Celia passed the Bible to the old woman, and she, opening at the first chapter of St. Matthew, slowly traced the lines until she reached the passage which she wanted.
"Now, look here, Mrs. Celia. This is him."

"'If ye, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?'"[[4]]
"Stop a bit!" said old Cicely; "that ben't just the one I meant. Let's look a bit on."
After a little more searching she discovered her text. "Read that, please, Mrs. Celia," she said.
Celia read in a low tone: "'If ye, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?'"[[5]]
Lucy seemed to have dropped asleep.
"Cicely," asked Celia, "how shall we know if we have the Holy Spirit?"
