Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Weavers, Vol. 2: A Tale of England and Egypt of Fifty Years Ago It was very quiet and cool in the Quaker Meetinghouse, though outside there was the rustle of leaves, the low din of the bees, the whistle of a bird, or the even tread of horses´ hoofs as they journeyed on the London road. The place was full. For a half-hour the worshippers had sat voiceless. They were waiting for the spirit to move some one to speak. As they waited, a lady entered and glided into a seat. Few saw, and these gave no indication of surprise, though they were little used to strangers, and none of the name borne by this lady had entered the building for many years. It was Hylda. At last the silence was broken. The wizened Elder, with eyes upon the ceiling and his long white chin like ivory on his great collar, began to pray, sitting where he was, his hands upon his knees. He prayed for all who wandered "into by and forbidden paths." He prayed for one whose work was as that of Joseph, son of Jacob; whose footsteps were now upon the sea, and now upon the desert; whose way was set among strange gods and divers heresies - "´For there must also be heresies, that they which are approved may be made manifest among the weak."´ A moment more, and then he added: "He hath been tried beyond his years; do Thou uphold his hands.
