A CHALLENGE ANSWERED.
Tomb Of a German Countess Opened by a
Seeding.

"In the town of Hanover. in Ger
many" Evangels Moody writes in
the August Ladies' Home journal.
there is buried n German countess
who denied the existence of God and
rdiculed the idea Of the resurrection.
TO further show her contempt for
Christianity she ordered that on her
death her grave should be built up of
solid masonry and covered by large
stones bound together by iron clamps.
on this tomb was engraved her def
ant challenge that through eternity
this tomb should never be disturbed.
But one day the seed from some tree,
either blown by the wind or carried
by bird. became lodged in n small
crevice OF the tomb, where soon 1t
sprouted and began to grow. And then,
as II nature seemd to mock the haugh-
ty inhdel. she quietly extended the
delicate roots OF that Seeding under
the massive blocks OF stone and slow
ly raised them from their place. And
now, although scarce four generations
are passed since that tomb was sealed,
that most insignificant Seeding has
accomplished what God himself was
challenged TO accomplish"
