The Chief of the Secret Service leaned toward Fandor and whispered mysteriously. "I have it, Sire." "What," inquired Fandor, with somewhat of anxiety. "The text of the telegram." Wulf drew out a document and was about to hand it to Fandor, but the latter stopped him with a gesture. "Read it to me."
We were instructed to preach the Gospel by our Saviour, not to wage war against this or that creed; and the Gospel is one of peace and love. Don't you remember how Saint John, when he was upwards of fourscore years, continually taught this by his constant text, `Little children, love one another? Let us allow men to judge us by our works.
The mandate laid on his soul was a supernatural mandate, and as Judge Webb said in a suggestive and interesting paper: "The Genuine text of Shakespeare," October number of the "National Review, 1903," "it was utterly impossible for that soul to perform it," or it might be added, to cast it aside.
But the words of the text, perhaps because he had read them so short a while before, came clearly enough to Philip's ears, and they seemed on a sudden to have a personal application. He thought about them through most of the sermon, and that night, on getting into bed, he turned over the pages of the Gospel and found once more the passage.

Then they took her in their arms and kissed her, and said she should now be their dochter, for their son should marry her. And they lived happy all their days.
