" The words ran...g out through the building withtheir message of hope and confidence and were answered by the people: "Praise the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.
"Praise ye the God of gods: for His mercy endureth forever. " Those who were nearest the Bishop pressed him to escape. "Theshepherd's place is with his flock, " he answered firmly.
