So far another twelve month sat he priests and judged. Thrice they awarded - trice did
Heaven refuse the gift. Meanwhile a host of poor, maimed beggars in the street lay all
about the temple gate, in hope to move that love whereby each claimant hoped to win the
gift and well for them it was (if gold be charity),For every pilgrim to the temple gate
praised God, that love might thus approve itself before the test, and so coins rained freely
in the outstretched hands; but none of those who gave, so much as turned to look into the
poor sad eyes of them that begged.
And now
The second year had almost passed, but still the plate of gold , by whomsoever touched
was turned to lead. At length there came a simple pleasant - not aware of that strange
contest for the gift of God-to pay a vow within the temple. As he passed along the line of
shriveled beggars, all his soul was moved within him to sweet pity, and the tears welled
up and trembled in his eyes.
