"Father!" said the stranger in a moving voice. Incoherently Andrew burst out. "You you you're not my son!" His disclaimer seemed so evidently sincere that the sense of the company was already in sympathy with the victim of this outrageous intrusion, when alas for him! his aunt chose that fatal moment, of all others, to rush out of her chronic background.
All day long He stretched forth His hands to them, and said, in a voice full of infinite kindness, 'Return unto Me; why will you die?
