Description
Excerpt from Old Kensington
Lady Sarah could scarcely have told you the meaning of those tears as they fell - old love and life partings, sorrows and past mercies, all came returning to her with the familiar words of the prayers. The tears fell bright and awe-stricken as she thought of the present - of distances immeasurable of life and its inconceivable mystery; and then her heart would warm with hope perhaps of what might be to come, of the overwhelming possibilities - how many of them to her lay in the warm clasp of the child''s hand that came pushing into hers l - For her, as for the children, heaven''s state was in the old wooden pew. Then the sing-song of the hymn would ?ood the old church with its homely cadence.
