6/41 Her voice was always sweet, and the words came through it as loved words. It was very pleasant to Daisy to hear her; the long chapter was not interrupted by any remark. But when Mrs.Benoit paused at the end of it, Daisy said, "How can anybody be ashamed of him, Juanita ?" The last verse of the chapter has these words-- "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." "How _can_ anybody be ashamed of him, Juanita ?" "They not see the glory of the Lord, my lady." "But _we_ do not see it yet." "My love will see it. This little house be all full of glory sometimes, when Jesus is here." "But that is because you love him, Juanita." "Praise the Lord!" echoed the black woman. |
