During the two months which fol.

vigil in the mountains with her com

and when at times through the
months and years which followed it
seemed as though the anguish of his
heart would crush him, he would hear
her words again:
"Let us see the brightness as we
behold It streaming out of the glori

And he would exclaim, fervidly and
reverently:
"Amen, and Amen!"
