Suddenly a strong voice close at his side spoke with deep earnestness the words, "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name." Blair turned in astonishment, and saw Derry Duck close at his side.
Tears were coursing down those rough cheeks, and the almost blinded eyes were lifted reverently upward, and silently spoke the same language as the song of praise.
Blair's heart bounded.

He could not be deceived.

One of God's great miracles of grace had been wrought.

The devil had been cast out, and the ransomed was giving God the glory.

It must be so.
Blair seized the hand of his companion, and looking into his face, said quickly, "Oh, Derry, are you really in earnest ?" "Bless the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies,'" continued Derry with deep feeling.
