Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sister as Guardian: A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of Mrs. Chloe Thompson Jenkins Three thousand and five hundred years have passed since this incident took place, yet the scene is as distinctly before us as if not more than thirty-five days had passed. We see a Hebrew mother, who belongs to an enslaved race, prepare, all unobserved, a little papyrus boat. She makes it watertight with bitumen. In it she places her beautiful infant boy who, for three months, has been hidden at home. But concealment from the merciless agents of a merciless king can no longer be effected. She seeks an hour when no witnesses are looking on to place the hope of her family among flags, near the bank of the Nile. She breathes a prayer, no doubt, to the God of Abraham; lets the child´s young sister remain for a sentinel, and is herself quickly out of sight. Never did floating cradle carry such a treasure. And did ever a young heart beat like Miriam´s, when she saw a princess, with her attendants, approach the very spot where that precious ark was placed, and when one of the handmaids brought it, dripping, to Pharaoh´s daughter?
