Heated and excited as he was, this suggestion was not unpleasing to Apaecides. He was rejoiced at so early an opportunity of distinguishing his faith in his new sect, and to his holier feelings were added those of a vindictive loathing at the imposition he had himself suffered, and a desire to avenge it. Apaecides then assented to this proposal with a readiness which delighted Olinthus.
They lifted up their eyes when Olinthus entered, without speaking; the Nazarene himself, before he accosted them, knelt suddenly down, and by his moving lips, and his eyes fixed steadfastly on the crucifix, Apaecides saw that he prayed inly.
'Is Olinthus, thy co-mate in the prison as the trial. 'What! he whom they call the Atheist? Is it the injustice of men that hath taught thee to deny the providence of the gods? 'Alas! answered Olinthus: 'thou, not I, art the true Atheist, for thou deniest the sole true God the Unknown One to whom thy Athenian fathers erected an altar. It is in this hour that I know my God.
There was a strong and marked distinction between the Christianity of the old man and that of Olinthus; that of the first was more soft, more gentle, more divine. The heroism of Olinthus had something in it fierce and intolerant it was necessary to the part he was destined to play it had in it more of the courage of the martyr than the charity of the saint.
