I dinna want to be held to sharper account than He faces me up to, when I hold communion with mesel'.

I dinna want any better meetin'-house than Rainbow Bottom.

I dinna care for better talkin' than the 'tongues in the trees'; sounder preachin' than the 'sermons in the stones'; finer readin' than the books in the river; no, nor better music than the choir o' the birds, each singin' in its ain way fit to burst its leetle throat about the mate it won, the nest they built, and the babies they are raising.

That's what I call the music o' God, spontaneous, and the soul o' joy.

Give it me every time compared with notes frae a book.
