"One must obey, and I ant a better
man for having denied myself and
gone. I can love you better. I have
been taught to think of others. I was
sent to open up the gospel in the east
ern states because I had been en
dowed with almost the open vision.
It was my call to help in the setting
up of the Messiah's latter-day king
dom. Besides, we may never question
the commands of the holy priesthood,
even if our wicked hearts rebel in
secret."
"If you had questioned the right
person sharply enough, you might
have had an answer as to why you
were sent."
"What do you mean? How could I
have questioned? How could I have
rebelled against the stepping-stone of
my exaltation?"
His face relaxed a little, and he
soncluded almost quizzically:
"Was not Satan hurled from high
heaven for resisting authority?"
She pouted, caught him by the
lapels of his coat and prettily tried
to shake him.
"Now, now! stop it at once, and
come to the house. I've been tending
your father and mother, and I'm go
ing to tend you. What you need di
rectly is food. Your look may be
holy, but I prefer full cheeks. Not
another word until you have eaten
every crumb I put before you."
With an air of captor, daintily
fierce, she led him toward the house
and up to the door, which she pushed
open before him.
"Come softly, your mother may be
still asleep—no, your father is talking
—listen!"
A querulous voice, rough with
strong feeling, came from the inner
room.
