and　drink　of　the　spring　of　Living　Waters　which　you　have　hidden。〃



〃Let　us　save　our　strength　for　Prayer；〃　said　Minna。　〃Wilfrid；　thy

mission　is　not　that　of　the　Prophets　or　the　Avenger　or　the　Messenger；

we　are　still　on　the　confines　of　the　lowest　sphere；　let　us　endeavor　to

rise　through　space　on　the　wings　of　Prayer。〃

The　clouds　gathered　and　formed　a　darksome　dais。　Suddenly　the　pair

found　themselves　kneeling　beside　a　body　which　old　David　was　guarding

the　sun…rays。　They　breathed　a　celestial　essence　from　the　new…born

flowers。　Holding　each　other　by　the　hand；　they　said；　〃That　illimitable

ocean　which　shines　below　us　is　but　an　image　of　what　we　saw　above。〃



〃Where　are　you　going？〃　asked　Monsieur　Becker。



〃To　God；〃　they　answered。　〃Come　with　us；　father。〃
