2 Samuel 6:21 And David said to Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before your father, and before all his house… Billy Bray, the Cornish preacher, was a constant visitor among the sick and dying. On one occasion he was sitting by the beside of a Christian brother who had been always very reticent, and afraid to confess joyously his faith in Christ. Now, however, he wast filled with gladness. Turning to Billy, whose beaming face and sunny words had done so much to produce this joy, he said, "Oh, Mr. Bray, I'm so happy that, if I had the power, I'd shout 'Glory!'" "Hae, mon," said Billy, "what a pity it was thee didn't shout 'Glory!' when thee hadst the power!"
