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。〃
