10、在復(fù)興晚會(huì)結(jié)束之前，他們?yōu)楹⒆觽兣e行了一次特殊的集會(huì)——把小羊羔帶回羊圈。里德阿姨數(shù)日之前就開(kāi)始和我提這件事。那天晚上，我和其他還沒(méi)有得到主寬恕的小懺悔者們被送去坐在教堂前排那是為禱告的人安排的座椅。我的阿姨告訴我說(shuō)：“當(dāng)你看到耶穌的時(shí)候，你看見(jiàn)一道光，然后感覺(jué)心里似乎有什么發(fā)生。從此以后耶穌就進(jìn)入了你的生命，他將與你同在。你能夠看見(jiàn)、聽(tīng)到、感受到他和你的靈魂融為一體?！蔽蚁嘈爬锏掳⒁陶f(shuō)的，許多老人都這么說(shuō)，似乎她們都應(yīng)該知道。盡管教堂

11、里面擁擠而悶熱，我依然靜靜地坐在那里，等待耶穌的到來(lái)。布道師禱告，富有節(jié)奏，非常精彩。呻吟、喊叫、寂寞的呼喊，還有地獄中令人恐怖的畫(huà)面。然后他唱了一首贊美詩(shī)。詩(shī)中描述了99只羊都安逸的待在圈里，唯有一個(gè)被冷落在外的情形。唱完后他說(shuō)道：“難道你不來(lái)嗎？不來(lái)到耶穌身旁嗎？小羊羔們，難道你們不來(lái)嗎？”他向坐在禱告席上的小懺悔者們打開(kāi)了雙臂，小女孩們開(kāi)始哭了，她們中有一些很快跳了起來(lái)，跑了過(guò)去。我們大多數(shù)仍然坐在那里。許多長(zhǎng)輩過(guò)來(lái)跪在我們的身邊

12、開(kāi)始禱告。老婦人的臉像煤炭一樣黑，頭上扎著辮子，老爺爺?shù)氖忠蜷L(zhǎng)年的勞作而粗糙皸裂。他們吟唱著“點(diǎn)燃微弱的燈，讓可憐的靈魂得到救贖”的詩(shī)歌。整個(gè)教堂里到處都是祈禱者的歌聲。最后其他所有小懺悔者們都去了圣壇上，得到了救贖，除了一個(gè)男孩和依然靜靜地坐著等侯的我。那個(gè)男孩是一個(gè)守夜人的兒子，名字叫威斯特里。在我們的周?chē)M是祈禱的修女執(zhí)事。教堂里異常悶熱，天色也越來(lái)越暗了。最后威斯特里小聲對(duì)我說(shuō)：“去他媽的上帝。我再也坐不住了，我們站起來(lái)吧，就可
