“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
      Let me hide myself in Thee! 
      Let the water and the blood
      From Thy riven side which flowed
      Be of sin the double cure,
      Save me from its guilt and power!”

Suddenly little Doris, who had been looking down, with wondering baby solemnity on the strange scene, leaned forward and pointed to the bed.

“Pitty mamma dawn as’eep!” she said, softly; and with a groan Tennelly sank with her to his knees beside the bed.  Courtland, kneeling a little way off, spoke out once more: 

“Lord Jesus, the Saviour of the world, we leave her with Thy tender mercy!”

As if a visible sign of assent had been asked, the setting sun suddenly dropped lower, touching into blazing glory the golden cross on the church, and threw its reflection upon the wall at the head of the bed just over the white face of the dead.

The baby saw and pointed once again.  “Pitty!  Pitty!  Papa, see!”

The sorrowing father lifted his eyes to the golden symbol of salvation, and Courtland, standing at the foot of the bed, said, softly: 

“I am the resurrection and the life:  he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
