And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that
he may sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith
fail not and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.-Luke
xxii. 31, 32.

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Je-

Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them :
then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger

cause thou hbst seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not
seen and yet have believed.-John xx. 24-29.
