"Now, Davy, you must take this, or I don't know but papa will I don't know but papa will kill you." Up and down the little form is hurled. Stubbornly the little will contends for its own liberty. Rougher and rougher become the motions, darker and darker becomes the man's face Satanic now a murderer, bent on having his own will. "Oh, David, David!" "Keep still, Esther!
His pictures remained unsold, and his revenue dwindled. Rembrandt was thirty-six years of age and at the very height of his powers, at the time of the failure of this his greatest picture.

In the harsh face of life, faith can read a bracing gospel.
