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
