You have been healed, and your little grand-daughter, and I, too, in the way the Master commanded.

Aye, it’s true, Master Carol. I feel like saying, ’Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.’ It is His salvation. Maybe when you have read me that chapter from the Bible, you’ll read me some pages of the little book which seems to make things clearer to me, and helps me to understand the Bible better.

I am sorry, I may not, Carol said regretfully, looking at the little book which lay beside the old man’s Bible.

My uncle has taken my copy of the book away because he did not wish me to read it. It would not be honorable to read from another copy. It will be given back to me sometime. I do not know how or when. Auntie asked me not to stay long this evening, so I will read the chapter now.

My daughter’ll be sorry she missed coming in. We didn’t expect you to-night, Master Carol. She’s very grateful to you; her little girl seems quite well now. There’s been no return o’ the fits. An’ my rheumatiz is quite the talk o’ th’ village. What’s took it away? First one and then another asks. When I tell ’em th’ Lord’s healed me--well, well, they just look at me, as if they thunk th’ rheumatiz has gone to my head and turned my brain. Farmer Stubbins says he’s coming in one night to have a talk with me, for he’s tried many remedies, but his rheumatiz keeps getting worse.

Give him the little book to read, or tell him to get one for himself,
