As both were standing one day beside the resting-place of the wife and mother, which Mr. Britton had himself chosen for her, the latter said, "John, there are no longer any ties to hold us here. You may have to remain here until affairs are settled, but I have no place, and want none, in Hosea Jewett's home.
As also he saith in Hosea , "I will call her which was not my people, my people; and her which was not beloved, beloved. And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God."
"Ain't!" Hosea Brewster was startled into it. "They're artists, aren't they? Most of 'em?" "No! Out-of-town folks, mostly, like you. West Iowa an' Californy an' around there. Livin' here, though. Seem t' like it better'n where they come from. I dunno." Hosey Brewster took to eying them as Mrs. Brewster had eyed the women.
The words Ephraim had announced to Hosea in her name, as a message from the Most High, had been uttered by unseen lips while she was thinking under the sycamore of the exodus and the man whom she had loved from her childhood and when that day, between midnight and morning, she again sat beneath the venerable tree and was overpowered by weariness, she had believed she heard the same voice.
Miriam, however, heard from Nun, Hosea's father, that Eliab, the freedman whom he had left behind, had informed him that his son would be ready to join his people. She also learned that the wounded Ephraim had found shelter in his uncle's tent. Was the lad's illness serious, or what other cause detained Hosea in Tanis?
Hosea, in his joy and astonishment, held out his arms, but ere Ephraim could fall upon his breast, he again lost consciousness, and stalwart soldiers bore the senseless lad into the tent the quartermaster had already pitched on a dune by the sea. It was midnight.
Had He not expiated our guilt by dying for us, His example, teaching, and sympathy would never have brought us salvation. The name "Jesus" is a human name. In its Hebrew form Joshua, Jehoshua, Hosea it had been borne by others. We read of one Jesus in the New Testament and of many in the pages of Josephus.
Knowing what he sought, she could no longer resist the impulse of her heart, but stepped forth from the shadow of the sycamore and gave Hosea a cordial and tender welcome. He, too, disdained to conceal the joy of his heart, and Hur stood beside the reunited lovers, as they clasped each other's hands, and exchanged greetings, at first mutely, then with warm words.
Cliffe kept me in bed all that day, to my great irritation. I had no converse with the outside world, save vicariously with Betty, who rang up to enquire after my health. On the following morning, when I drove abroad with Hosea, I found the whole town ringing with Boyce. It was a Friday, the day of publication of the local newspaper.
He had already seen Hosea, and though heartily glad to greet his old friend once more, it had vexed him that the soldier's first enquiry was for his daughter. He did not withhold this from the young widow, but his flashing eyes betrayed the displeasure with which he delivered the Hebrew's message.
