When Dimas heard and saw these things he fell upon his knees, and catching the hem of the little Master's garment, he kissed it. WHEN DAMAS HEARD AND SAW THESE THINGS HE FELL UPON HIS KNEES AND CATCHING THE HEM OF THE LITTLE MASTER'S GARMENT HE KISSED IT
at in his dreams Benoni spoke the Messiah's name. [Illustration: "'What sound was that?' cried Dimas, for he was exceeding fearful."] "'Thy father sleeps,' said the little Master, 'and it is well that it is so; for that I love thee Dimas, and that thou shalt walk with me in my Father's kingdom, I would show thee the glories of my birthright.' "Then all at once sweet music filled the air, and light, greater than the light of day, illumined the sky and fell upon all that hill-side. The heavens opened, and angels, singing joyous songs, walked to the earth. More wondrous still, the stars, falling from their places in the sky, clustered upon the old olive-tree, and swung hither and thither like colored lanterns. The flowers of the hill-side all awakened, and they, too, danced and sang. The angels, coming hither, hung gold and silver and jewels and precious stones upon the old olive, where swung the stars; so that the glory of that sight, though I might live forever, I shall never see again. IND TOO STAYED IN ITS SHIFTING COURSE JUST THEN FOR SUDDENLY THERE WAS A SOLEMN HUSH AND YOU COULD HEAR NO NOISE EXCEPT THAT IN HIS DREAMS BENONI SPOKE THE MESSIAH'S NAME THY FATHER SLEEPS SAID THE LITTLE MASTER AND IT IS WELL THAT IT IS SO FOR THAT I LOVE THEE DAMAS AND THAT THOU SHALT WALK WITH ME IN MY FATHER'S KINGDOM I WOULD SHOW THEE THE GLORIES OF MY BIRTHRIGHT THEN ALL AT ONCE SWEET MUSIC FILLED THE AIR AND LIGHT GREATER THAN THE LIGHT OF DAY ILLUMINED THE SKY AND FELL UPON ALL THAT HILLSIDE THE HEAVENS OPENED AND ANGELS SINGING JOYOUS SONGS WALKED TO THE EARTH MORE WONDROUS STILL THE STARS FALLING FROM THEIR PLACES IN THE SKY CLUSTERED UPON THE OLD OLIVE TREE AND SWUNG HITHER AND THITHER LIKE COLORED LANTERNS THE FLOWERS OF THE HILLSIDE ALL AWAKENED AND THEY TOO DANCED AND SANG THE ANGELS COMING HITHER HUNG GOLD AND SILVER AND JEWELS AND PRECIOUS STONES UPON THE OLD OLIVE WHERE SWUNG THE STARS SO THAT THE GLORY OF THAT SIGHT THOUGH I MIGHT LIVE FOR EVER I SHALL NEVER SEE AGAIN
