with joy. Back along the road she ran. “Oh, Daddy!” she cried. “He’s alive! My Jesus is alive!” “Daddy’s girl,” he said, “what does all this mean? You’ve been so unhappy lately, and now you’re so glad. What have you been hearing?” “Oh, Daddy, didn’t you know they crucified Him? And He came alive again and went up to heaven to God, and He’s getting a place ready for us —if we love Him! Oh, I love Him so!

She could not un derstand why he held her so tightly without speaking for several mo ments before he was able to smile at her and answer quietly, “We must talk to her about Him, mustn’t we, Mary?” This is how it happened that be fore a month had passed, there were three in that mountain cabin at Gold Rock who loved their wonder ful Saviour.
