The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather: Some of Amedee's cousins were there, dressed
in black and weeping. When all the pews were
full, the old men and boys packed the open
space at the back of the church, kneeling on the
floor. There was scarcely a family in town that
was not represented in the confirmation class,
by a cousin, at least. The new communicants,
with their clear, reverent faces, were beautiful
to look upon as they entered in a body and took
the front benches reserved for them. Even
before the Mass began, the air was charged
O Pioneers! |
