song was finished; "do you understand what we have sung?"

"That song?" wondered the boy; "Isn't every word quite clear?"

"Do you think so? Then you explain it to us," smiled the doctor
good-humoredly.

"Explain it? Why, we know well what the good Lord sent us during the
past night, and we can walk sound and refreshed through this world,
and that He is our King. We also know that He is the everlasting God."

"Well, that is so, but little children know that much. Go on."

"The third verse I like very much. He is already on the earth, always
present with us, even now He goes with us, and so will protect us from
evil all day long. I am very glad to see at least a small piece of His
garment."

"Where do you see it?" asked Ondrejko.

"Just look how the rays of the sun shine around us. On every drop of
dew you see a piece of the rainbow. That is the hem of His garment,
and in that soft breeze, His Spirit is touching us. He is very near
to us. Verily, He is a good Father. We cannot see Him just because we
could not bear the full glory. What a man was Daniel! Yet he almost
died when he saw Him. But also this verse is beautiful, 'That we may
to Thy glory ever live.'"

"And how do you do that, you little doctor of theology?" said the
doctor.
