"Amen ! for Jesus' sake, " was the firm response of the now strengthened young disciple. The old Israelite started as if stung by an envenomed insect. He was instantly transformed into an image of horror, amazement, and hatred. His eyes, those windows of the heart, which seemed but now to be revealing depths of un- fathomed tenderness, glared upon his daughter THE CHRISTIAN DAUGHTER. 193 with bigotry, obstinacy, and malignity gathered into them. He attempted to shake her from him but she clung ...to his knees with the energy of affection and despair combined. He looked at her face, so full of imploring sweetness; he saw the big tears as they rolled, one by one, over her pale and agitated countenance ; he felt the enfolding pressure of an embrace that refused to be with- drawn; and the returning tide of long-cherisbed love and habit was fast rolling over the violated prejudices of the Hebrew. It needed but a thought, however, to resummon them in all their inveteracy. His daughter was a Christian a name adhorred ^and hated : his dear daughter she whom he had loved and trusted, had deceived him ; the sole depository in whom his heart had wrapped up all its treasures of joy, and hope, and consola- tion, had secretly, coldly, and cruelly deserted him ; had, with her own hands, wantonly robbed his eyes of their delight, and his life of its happi- ness.
