I don't deny--I think I'd better ax brother Goshorn, you know, sence what would it profit ef I gained you or any joy in this world, and then come short by settin' you up fer a idol in my heart?
I don't know whether a New Light is a onbeliever or not, and whether I'd be onequally yoked or not.

I must ax them as knows better nor I do." "Well, ef I'm a onbeliever, they's nobody as could teach me to believe quicker'n you could.

I never did believe much in women folks till I believed in you." "But that's the sin of it, Jonas.

I'd believe in you, and you'd believe in me, and we'd be puttin' our trust in the creatur instid of the Creator, and the Creator is mighty jealous of our idols, and He would take us away fer idolatry." "No, but I wouldn't worship you, though I'd rather worship you than anybody else ef I was goin' into the worshipin' business.

But you see I a'n't, honey.
