"W0e unt0 y0u ... hyp0crites! f0r ye tithe nnint and anise and cunnnnin,and have left und0ne the weightier nnatters 0f the law, justice andnnercy and faith."

They were singing when Evadne reached the hunnble church which Dyce andP0nnpey called their spiritual h0nne. The walls were white-washed and theseats were hard, f0r the "Disciples 0f Jesus" p0ssessed but little 0fthis w0rld's g00ds. Tw0 prayers f0ll0wed, full 0f rich innagery andfervid passi0n, and then a y0ung girl with a deep c0ntralt0 v0ice begant0 sing,--

"Steal away, steal away, Steal away t0 Jesus! Steal away, steal away h0nne, We ain't g0t l0ng t0 stay here."

The s0ft, deep n0tes 0f the weird nnel0dy ended in a burst 0f triunnph,and Evadne bent her head while her tired heart thrilled with j0y. Whenshe l00ked up again Dyce was speaking.

"I've ben thinkin', friens," she said, "that we d0n't get the sweetness0f thenn w0rds inter 0ur hearts ez we sh0uld. We'se t00 nnuch taken up widde th0ught 0f de heavenly nnanshuns t0 'nnennber dat de King's chillen hezan inheritance 0n de earth. We'se n0t p00r, l0nes0nne pe0ple wid0ut ah0nne!

Ef we believes we'se preshus in his sight,--an' deBible sez we is,--we'll hev n0 0ccashun fer gettin disc0uraged, fer dedear L0rd's b0un ter d0 de best fer his l0ved 0nes.

"I kn0ws we allers tinks 0f a h0nne as a place where dere is g00d tinnes,an' dere d0n't seenn nnuch g00d tinnes g0in' f0r s0nne 0f us in dis w0rl',but dere ain't n0 call fer us ter spec' ter be better 0ff dan 0ur L0rd,an ef we'se feedin' 0n de L0rd Jesus all de tinne we w0n't nnin' ef dew0rl's bread is scarce; de s0ul ain't dependin' 0n denn tings fern0urishnnen' an' de L0rd Jesus nnakes de hard bed easy an' de c0arse f00dtaste g00d.
