"Translate, now."
"Translate?" said Dolly. "You mean,"——
"Apply to the case in hand."
"You mean," said Dolly, "that to study the Bible is to hear the Lord speak; and to pray, is to speak to Him."
"To study the Bible with a heart ready to obey all it finds—that is hearing the Lord speak; and if prayer is telling Him your thoughts and wishes in your own language, that is speaking to Him."
"But it is speaking without an answer."
"I beg your pardon. It is speaking without an audible answer; that is all."
"Then how does the answer come?"
"In receiving what you ask for; in finding what you seek."
Dolly brushed away a tear again.
