now。 I know not how I learnt this truth; unless it is through the name

of Christ。〃 Yet she trembled as she pronounced the holy name。 She

struggled against these convictions of the truth of Christianity for

some days; till one evening while watching her mistress she was

suddenly taken very ill; her limbs tottered under her; and she sank

fainting by the bedside of the sick woman。

    〃Poor Sarah;〃 said the neighbors; 〃she is overcome with hard

work and night watching。〃 And then they carried her to the hospital

for the sick poor。 There she died; and they bore her to her

resting…place in the earth; but not to the churchyard of the

Christians。 There was no place for the Jewish girl; but they dug a

grave for her outside the wall。 And God's sun; which shines upon the

graves of the churchyard of the Christians; also throws its beams on

the grave of the Jewish maiden beyond the wall。 And when the psalms of

the Christians sound across the churchyard; their echo reaches her

lonely resting…place; and she who sleeps there will be counted

worthy at the resurrection; through the name of Christ the Lord; who

said to His disciples; 〃John baptized you with water; but I will

baptize you with the Holy Ghost。〃





                            THE END
