"Christ is risen! Away with the illusions which may have kept us from Him. Let us also arise and live. For, as the spouse sings in the Canticles, 'The winter is past, ... the time of the singing of birds is come; ... arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!'" Christ is risen! FOOTNOTES: [1] This article has already been seen in the preceding chapter. [2] This particular instance of the Nurié woman is _not_ all fiction. An incident much resembling it actually occurred to a well-known writer on the intimate life of Eastern peoples. For the purposes of the narrative the _locale_ has been changed from the Jaffa Road--where the event took place--to Jerusalem itself. THE END * * * * * _A Selection from the Catalogue of_ G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS Complete Catalogues sent on application _Bound to excite a great deal of favorable comment_ A Lost Cause _By_ Guy Thorne Author of "When It Was Dark." Crown Octavo----$1.50 Mr. Thorne, the author of that much-discussed religious novel, _When It Was Dark_, which has become the theme of hundreds of sermons, and has received the highest commendation in the secular press as well as in the religious publications, has written another powerful book which also deals with present-day aspects of the Christian religion. The new story is marked by the same dramatic and emotional strength which characterized his earlier work. The special theme deals with certain practices which have caused dissension in the Church, and the influence of ardent religious convictions on character and conduct. Written in all sincerity, the book can hardly fail to arouse wide and varied attention and is destined to take its place as one of the most interest-compelling works of fiction in recent years.
