Her strength lay in her gentleness. She always went when called for, but never obtruded herself on others. Very often her sisters were invited to the feast of the people without her. It took time for her quality to be known: she was so still and silent. Her step, too, was noiseless, and her delicate feet left no prints where she trod. "It's because she's so young, and cannot reason like us," they said among themselves. "Charity is so delicate," said Hope, a little doubtfully, "I do not quite see how she could endure this cold clime." It was not without a struggle that he called the only remaining child to his side to look upon her for the last time for many years. "Most certainly we should. I should like the fun of that. Now how many of you will be silent in the morning when the old sexton comes to ring us?" "That's just what I mean to change. We are all weary of our notes, and need change." She might have lain there some time had not Faith's eyes discovered her coming through the clouds. "Is it almost time?" "Tell him a thousand blessings await him when his work is done," said he to the messenger as the latter mounted his horse to ride away. "Will they ring them for me if--if--I--mother! hark! the bells are ringing! The good old sexton has gone to the church at last!" She found it a tedious task, and, after many years of toil, felt that she needed a helper. "Raise me up a little, mother," said the dying boy, "so I can hear the Christmas chime. It will be the last time I shall hear them here, mother. Is it almost morning?" "But how--cheerfully or otherwise?" 8770 8331 7384 10672 15114 17784 14814 7170 10880 9158 7279 5124 9098 18847 3759 12479 10383 1766 23083 7355 10471 18793 5252 24 21261 14491 20237 10058 19646 11602 11828 20436 12539 19527 7232 8508 3500 14509 9823 22650 3944 23021 11891 21546 11896 5786 5801 21375 1489 11840 8891 4633 7260 14412 12917 13093 3074 7360 12523 623 20655 4754 10637 22386 20440 9954 15704 12684 11611 18358 8971 18982 15057 433 3405 10554 6897 6809 11243 15478 8682 21968 8563 7806 2702 7181 13181 21233 6608 17259 5426 19251 1986 9202 1994 22296 12394 12617 1105 1936 13211 16242 9768 6234 2861 13028 12704 6825 11006 2356 6179 19372 19230 20155 15056 21795 19299 2823 19682 13265 19891 17573 6055 17460 12934 12837 16995 5846 21545 4215 21274 17403 5701 9302 2268 15564 12203 2323 4938 12805 17604 6337 10234 4254 11076 9170 22 4936 17262 3305 2996 9564 16042 10965 5151 18734 10176 15423 16427 13154 19132 6838 8390 6775 4185 11895 13675 9929 17888 22598 9594 16976 20991 6879 18760 13562 7338 1796 6381 3751 12819 12059 11704 18239 1217 11717 1364 17862 4140 6641 5378 19900 9013 14922 16779 10765 21059 3447 70 22294 18618 13218 10169 17774 16828 9132 11682 9149 15318 14722 11397 8365 9025 12673 333 7073 18255 13284 5550 15598 10521 18920 5771 11240 17218 12818 7955 6069 13235 7995 15615 3876 1728 7197 8245 22716 1879 17046 1406 15208 36 15339 2543 12551 18370 20130 10869 19467 14590 9695 15635 7786 21008 7587 11780 22812 7419 22042 558 4010 1171 5591 19050 7307 22221 7508 6626 1823 4408 726 5186 1208 11866 13494 15568 18309 16377 16359 15996 20209 1940 11615 14619 3517 15499 7812 5983 17264 18544 8546 15304 2948 16493 20512 14033 17550 19403 18353 13443 10853 13501 9037 15050 13866 4492 14419 19056 7529 15155 16592 6435 14190 6043 3457 2073 12679 14113 15535 14941 14418 1513 12493 6390 18990 8536 2237 7837 14470 22561 21128 22021 21136 2913 5118 6705 16026 19688 753 22131 1071 11876 21575 2106 1952 2099 1109 20016 13024 18435 1344 3435 3867 3409 22129 9340 989 2638 19184 5308 2261 6568 4582 8085 17144 17683 8429 11265 920 19870 9181 16121 13363 16515 13869 2536 3057 10388 4444 16890 7432 5340 17945 19155 21219 17693 18156 17727 3900 18915 5716 13386 499 18560 19882 17621 7290 13503 8086 7395 16791 12968 19095 16274 9260 8351 13208 10480 12667 19606 6271 13732 21312 2296 21002 20039 11748 8553 9978 22564 22636 13828 7356 5115 14148 18917 15618 17916 19754 19363 18362 12672 2301 20176 97 17578 9373 1660 9888 12865 4475 7668 5039 7418 12625 15119 15187 21324 20675 22952 5854 21851 3509 8630 7867 2961 5590 13964 2124 13463 15864 18409 13855 16431 1231 16718 11411 1134 2200 3416 10654 10084 21776 20238 18085 14969 8766 23048 15620 22140 3725 17405 20364 19909 13493 19626 9160 16783 12286 20252 11968 18529 22651 19552 20126 9187 16931 11725 6169 19028 3687

"I don't think we are seeing much of it now, in this dark box," answered one of the bells. "If part of us are silent and refuse to ring, of what use will the rest be?" said one who had remained quiet until then. "For a chime all of us are needed," sh...

"I will go for her," said Faith, one dark night, after she had been trying to rouse the people to higher states, with what seemed to her but little success. Faith was weary, and wept; and, when her tears flowed, her sister, yet in the realms of peace...

There had been a succession of days in which there was nothing but dry food on the hill, with none of the luscious fruits which invigorate and refresh; for they had been slow in ripening, and the kind husbandman would not gather them before they were...

"Raise me up a little, mother," said the dying boy, "so I can hear the Christmas chime. It will be the last time I shall hear them here, mother. Is it almost morning?" They parted on the morrow, though that separation was the nearest approach of thei...
