"They set me in a corner of the church where I sometimes wass thinking no mancould see me, and I cried in my heart without ceasing, 'Lord, sendme--send me a word from Thy mouth.'

"As he preached I knew I wass Lazurus, with the unlitness of thegrave around me, and my soul straitly bound. I could do nothing, butI wass longing with all my strength.

"There iss a man in this church, and he will know himself who itiss.
