But I knowed that singin' that time of day would be apt to draw attention, specially as Josiah's singin' wuz very base and my sulferino hain't what it wuz, and I hastened to say:
"Yes, Josiah, I want to go."
Breakfast wuz kinder late that mornin', and little Dorothy come into my room, she slep' jest acrost from us, and she begun to tell me to once about a meetin' she'd been to the night before with Aunt Pheeny. And to make talk with her I asked her what the text wuz, and she sez:
"Jesus the quilt."
Josiah wuz horrified, and it did sound bad, and he begun to reprimand her sharp, but I sez:
"Tell me all about it, Dotie."
And come to find out, it wuz "Jesus the Comforter," and her little bedspread wuz sometimes called a quilt and sometimes a comforter. And I told Josiah how necessary it wuz not to condemn children before searching into their motives. But Dotie wuz evidently thinkin' about the sermon she had hearn so lately, and she went on to ask, "Was Jesus a Jew?"
And I sez, "Yes, dear."
"Why," sez she, "I always thought Dod wuz a Presbyterium."
