three o'clock
` I felt somewhat that way myself last night , and I rose from my bed and lighted my lamp and opened my Bible ; and what do you think was the first verse my eyes lighted upon ? It was ` And they shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against thee , for I am with thee , saith the Lord of Hosts , to deliver thee . ' I am not gifted in the way of dreaming , as Miss Oliver is , but I knew then and there , Mrs. Dr. dear , that it was a manifest leading , and that Hindenburg will never see Paris . So I read no further but went back to my bed and I did not waken at three o'clock or at any other hour before morning . ' `` I say that verse Susan read over and over again to myself . The Lord of Hosts is with us -- and the spirits of all just men made perfect -- and even the legions and guns that Germany is massing on the western front must break against such a barrier . This is in certain uplifted moments ; but when other moments come I feel , like Gertrude , that I can not endure any longer this awful and ominous hush before the coming storm . ''
