Burrows, after opening the paper,
announced the title,--
"WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAYS."
Then read slowly and reverently, while the wondering scholars spelled
out the name.
"E Even the night shall lie light about thee.
D Depart from evil and do good.
W Whosoever cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out.
A A new heart will I give you.
R Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
D Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to thee.
"L Lo, I am with you always.
E Ever follow that which is good.
W Whosoever abideth in Him, sinneth not.
I I will go before thee, and make the crooked paths straight.
S So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper."
What a silent and astonished company listened to this reading, and
spelled the name "Edward Lewis!"
"Edward," Mr. Burrows said at last, "who found those verses for you?"
"I found them, sir, in my Bible. I've got them all marked!" speaking
eagerly, willing this time to bring proof that he was telling the truth.
Mr. Burrows' voice almost trembled as he answered,--
"It is a beautiful collection of some of the most precious verses in the
Bible.
