“Ye that are strong, bear the burdens of the weak.”
“If ye love me feed my lambs.”
“And lo, I am with you to the end of the world.”
These wuz some of the words Cousin John Richard heard, and his face shone as he listened to ’em.
“THE RELATION ON MAGGIE’S SIDE.”
He had not sent out his ships on earthly waters; and so, let the winds blow high or the winds blow low, he did not fear any tempestuous waves and storms reachin’ their sails.
No, he had sent his ships into a safer harbor; they wuz anchored in that divine sea where no storms can ever come.
And his face wuz calm with the heavenly calmness and peace of that sure harbor, that waveless sea.
Wall, the relation on Maggie’s side seemed to take a good deal of comfort a walkin’ round with his head up and his hand a playin’ with that heavy gold chain.
