Another fact in connection with this is also significant; those whom he desires to resemble need not be in the home circle nor in his environment, as at first, but may be distant in time and place. This new interest in people whom he can not see lends added charm and value to Bible stories and, if told aright, they will do for his life what can be done in no other way so effectively.
Padre Francisco lends his presence to cheer the invalid. Father and mother are busied with growing cares, for the siege closes in. The public galleries are now all closed.
