NOTES [61 words]: Surely a fragment of something else -- but given the amount of text, it's not clear what.
The Creighton and NorthCarolinaFolkloreJournal texts don't have much in common apart from the words "In that morning," but they're both about That Morning, they're both religious, they're both joyful, and they are both fragmentary messes. Might as well stick them together. - RBW
