That very morning he had received a New Testament from a colporteur, and now, out of regard to Isa Marlay's faith, maybe out of some deeper feeling, possibly he read the story of the trial and condemnation of Jesus.

"I've found the pearl of greatest price, My heart doth sing for joy; And sing I must for Christ is mine! Christ shall my song employ!"
