It was the same face: nothing can ever make his forehead any higher or broader, or put a chin where nature left one off.

But the expression of countenance was so different--so honest, so good--that I got from it my first clear idea of what was possible to the man who took our Saviour for a model of daily life.

It took such hold of me that when the pastor asked those who wanted the prayers of God's people to rise, I was on my feet in an instant; I couldn't keep my seat." "Then you do admit that there are some God's people besides Sam Kimper ?" sneered the deacon.
"I never doubted it," replied the lawyer.
