Book Description
Excerpt from Mystics All There was another repartee of Sammy's that I remember which would have pleased the theologians. We had a companion called Dicky (his people lived next door to Sammy's), of whom Sammy was very anxious to make a Catholic. Dicky was a hardened pagan, but Sammy was convinced that if we could but get him into church during Benediction, the sight of the Blessed Sacrament must instantly convert him to the truth. I had my doubts, I am ashamed to say, but Sammy had none, albeit that he had taken not a few Protestant companions to church in. His time. Dicky took some persuading - he had congenital suspicions of Romanism - but at length Sammy's vigorous invocations succeeded so far that one day Dicky consented to accompany us to Exposition. We knelt at the far end of the church, and Sammy prayed his best and hardest, while Dicky stared in wonder at the blaze of candles and the strange central object. At last, suddenly, and rather to our alarm, Dicky spoke up. I can hear his shrill child's treble breaking the dead silence. But the clock's got no hands! He said.
