"About what is going to happen!"

He smiled.

"Yes a great deal, Ellen enough to give me work for all the rest of my life."

"Oh, you mean from the Bible I was thinking of other things."

"It is best not to know the other things, Ellie I am very glad to know those the Bible teaches us."

"But is doesn't tell us much, does it? What does it tell us?"

"Go to the window, and tell me what you see."

"I don't see anything in particular," said Ellen, after taking a grave look out.

"Well, what in general?"

"Why, there is the lawn covered with snow, and the trees and bushes; and the sun is shining on everything, just as it did the day we came; and there's the long shadow of that hemlock across the snow, and the blue sky."
