`` I 'm awful glad I 've got into the habit of going to church and Sunday School this summer , '' said Peter very soberly . `` I wish I 'd made up my mind before this whether to be a Presbyterian or a Methodist . Do you s ` pose it 's too late now ? '' `` Oh , that does n't matter , '' said Cecily earnestly . `` If -- if you 're a Christian , Peter , that is all that 's necessary . '' `` But it 's too late for that , '' said Peter miserably . `` I ca n't turn into a Christian between this and two o'clock to-morrow . I 'll just have to be satisfied with making up my mind to be a Presbyterian or a Methodist . I wanted to wait till I got old enough to make out what was the difference between them , but I 'll have to chance it now . I guess I 'll be a Presbyterian , 'cause I want to be like the rest of you . Yes , I 'll be a Presbyterian . '' `` I know a story about Judy Pineau and the word Presbyterian , '' said the Story Girl , `` but I ca n't tell it now . If to-morrow is n't the Judgment Day I 'll tell it Monday . '' `` If I had known that to-morrow might be the Judgment Day I would n't have quarrelled with you last Monday , Sara Stanley , or been so horrid and sulky all the week . Indeed I would n't , '' said Felicity , with very unusual humility . Ah , Felicity ! We were all , in the depths of our pitiful little souls , reviewing the innumerable things we would or would not have done `` if we had known . '' What a black and endless list they made -- those sins of omission and commission that rushed accusingly across our young memories ! For us the leaves of the Book of Judgment were already opened ; and we stood at the bar of our own consciences , than which for youth or eld , there can be no more dread tribunal . I thought of all the evil deeds of my short life -- of pinching Felix to make him cry out at family prayers , of playing truant from Sunday School and going fishing one day , of a certain fib -- no , no away from this awful hour with all such euphonious evasions -- of a LIE I had once told , of many a selfish and unkind word and thought and action .
And to-morrow might be the great and terrible day XXXXX the last accounting !
