The name of the wonderful Jew was originally Cartaphilus, and he was Pilate's doorkeeper at the time of Christ's trial. When the young men were leading Jesus out from the hall of judgment, this doorkeeper struck him on the neck, and said, "Go, Jesus; go on faster: why dost thou linger?' Jesus turned, and answered, " I will go, but thou shalt remain waiting until I come." Thenceforth Cartaphilus has been waiting. He was thirty years when he insulted Christ, and whenever he reaches the age of one hundred he faints ; on. his recovery he finds himself as young as when his doom was pronounced.
The world needs some positive fanaticism.
