."'Poor old man! he had not quite destroyed his heart yet,' thought theschoolmaster.'Surely it was the child-nature that woke in him at the last, whenthe only thing left for his soul to desire, the only thing he could think of asa preparation for the dread something, was a kiss.Strange conjunction, yetsimple and natural! Eternity-a kiss.Kiss me; for I am going to theUnknown!-Poor old man!' the schoolmaster went on in his thoughts, 'I hope mybaby has met him, and put his tiny hand in the poor old shaking hand, and so ledhim across the borders into the shining land, and up to where Jesus sits, andsaid to the Lord: "Lord, forgive this old man, for he knew not what he did." AndI trust the Lord has forgiven him.'"And then the bereaved father fell on his knees, and cried out:"'Lord, thou hast not punished me.Thou wouldst not punish for a passing thoughtof troubled unbelief, with which I strove.Lord, take my child and his motherand me, and do what thou wilt with us.I know thou givest not, to take again.'"And ere the schoolmaster could call his protestantism to his aid, he had endedhis prayer with the cry:"'And O God! have mercy upon the poor old man, and lay not his sins to hischarge.'"For, though a woman's kiss may comfort a man to eternity, it is not all heneeds.And the thought of his lost child had made the soul of the fathercompassionate."He ceased, and we sat silent.END OF THE FIRST VOLUME.WHITETHORN, CALIFORNIA: PRINTED BY JOHANNESEN [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
