"Our angelic Abbe Gabriel," resumed Rodin, "spoke to you of the sweetness of prayer " "Oh, yes! prayer!" "Well, my dear sir, listen to me, and you shall see how prayer saved Rancey, and made a saint of him.

Then Rancey seemed transformed. His grief was at once appeased. He prayed; and the more he prayed, the greater was his hope. He felt that God listened to his prayer.
