The stars waxedgand waned, the sun rose and set, but in the heart of Hermas there was no light. Athenais knelt beside him- Hermas, it is almost over. The child grows weaker hour by hour. Unless a change comes he cannot last beyond sung rise. Is there no one to pity us? Long ago I knew somethingg I think it would have helped us. But I have forgotten it. It is all gone. But I would give all that I have if I could bring it back again, now at this hour, in this time of our bitter troublep ' A slave entered while he was speaking. John of An- tioch has come, and will take no denial. Come, let me go to him. In the central hall John was -standing. ' My son, I have come to comfort you, for I have heard that you are in great trouble. ' It is trueg we are in trouble, our child is dying. I knew something long ago, when I was with you-a word, a name, in which we might have found hope. But I have lost it. My son, you have sinned deeper than you fknow. The word with which you parted so lightly is the key-word of all life. VVithout it the world has no meaning, existence no contentment, and death no refuge. The name of Him, who, though we may forget Him, never forgets usg the name of Him who pities us as you pity your suffering child, the name of Him, who, though we wander farvfrom Him, seeks ussin the wilderness and sends His son, even as His Son has sent me this night, to breathe again that forgotten name in the heart that is perishing without it. Listen, my son, to the name of God, our Father. The lost was found. Hermas stood upright, and liftedhis hands high toward Heaven. Oh, My God, spare the life of this, my child. My Father! My Father! Was it an echo? It would not be, for it came again, the voice of a child clear and low, waking from sleep, and call- ing: l My father! My father!
