Amen.'" "Is it Jesus who says, 'Surely I come quickly, grandma ?" asked Elsie.
"Yes, dear; and he says to each one of us: 'Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.'" "Watch," repeated Neddie.
