Quiet and Noisy Religion

Concerning “hollering” in meeting, Aunt Judy, an old colored woman, said to one of her sisters: “‘Tain’t de rale grace, honey’; ’tain’t de sure glory. You hollers too loud. When you gits de dove in your heart and de lamb in your bosom, you’ll feel as ef you was in dat stable in Beth’lem and de blessed Virgin had lent you de sleepin’ baby to hold.”
