He went on with the grand, majestic words
of the story, — which sounded very strange to Daisy from his
lips, but — very grand; — till he came to the fourteenth
verse. " 'And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: and let
them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven, to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.' " The doctor looked at
Daisy again.
"There," said she, "that is very different now from what it
used to be — I didn't know what sort of lights those were;
it's a great deal more wonderful now. Won't you read on a
little farther?"
" 'And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night; He made the stars
also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give
light upon the earth, and to rule over the day, and over the
night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw
that it was good.' "
"That is what I mean," said Daisy, as the doctor paused. "I
never knew before what those 'lights' meant — I thought the
sun was — I don't know what; I didn't think much about it; but
now I never shall forget again.
