'You know you can.'
'I do know you can, I do. When I've been as black as black can be I've felt Him just as close as in the chapel Sundays.'
'The Lord is not here or there, in the house or in the field; He is with His children.'
'Hebe that! He be!'.
CHAPTER XIII
[A TRIUMPHAL ENTRY]
The people came to meet the Lord upon the Ripley road, and they were not a few.
The first that found Mr. Treadman were Mrs. Powell and Harvey Gifford. They took a fly from the station, bidding the driver drive straight on. Nor had they gone far before they came on Mr. Treadman sitting on a gate. They cried to him:
'What is the meaning of your telegram?'
'It means that the Lord has come again, in very surety and very truth.'
