CHAPTER V.
A SAD FRIGHT.
But the next afternoon, as the two little girls were walking home together, Dotty said to Jennie, with a very wise face,—
"Grandma has told me what the Bible means. Now I understand every single thing."
Jennie did not seem as much delighted as had been expected.
"She says God can get that camel through a needle."
"O, I remember," said Jennie; "you mean that Bible camel."
"There isn't anything He can't do," continued Dotty; "the richest men, richer than your father, can get to heaven if God's a mind to take 'em."
"Not bad people," said Jennie, shaking her head.
"I don't know about that; she didn't say," said Dotty, looking puzzled. "O, no, I s'pose not. God wouldn't be a mind to. For don't you see, Jennie Vance, it's just like a camel. There can't anybody go through themselves unless God pulls 'em through."
