sent other letters and pretty soon, I gave myself over to the Lord and said, ‘Lord, you have your way. I ain’t never amounted to much but maybe you can do something with me.’ ” “But I ’ve got to turn myself in. I shot that man,” Hiram said. “I already served the sentence and I won’t let you do that. It’s all paid for, like Christ died for our meanness so we wouldn’t have to. That’s the way it is in this matter, Hiram. When I came here tonight I didn’t know but what you might shoot me. It was a kind of a test of your faith in the Lord. If you had shot me, I ’d have known and felt sorry even as I was dying, thinking that you weren’t really resting on the Lord.” “It’s the little fella; we’ve got to thank the little fella. He came here to help and he really did »— God bless him, he really did.” Even in all the excitement I was thinking Aunt Downy had to take care of the cow that night and how she was probably terribly worried about me.

He took what he had been carrying under his arm and laid it on the table. I thought at first he was pouncing on Hiram to give him a beating and again that old fright welled up in me. But the next thing I knew he was hugging Hiram and shaking his hand. “You righted whatever wrong you did me by sending Jesus into the pen,” Jack said. “We all knew the names of the folks at your church who wrote to us and sent us Bibles and tracts. I got the Bible that was given me right here. I read the letter you wrote me. Oh, I didn’t read it just once, I read it again and again.
