Some soldiers came into 4 village dur
ing a time of war and asked for a guide.
A poor day labOrcr was ready to go with
them. 1t was very cold and showed and
blew in n fearful manner. He begged
the villagers to lend him cloak, but
they paid no attention to him. Only
one old man, a foreigner, who had been
driven out of his own country by the
war and supported himself in the vii
Iage as a smiths journcyman, had COM
passion on the day laborer and gave him
his own old cloak.
The soldiers marched on, and 10, late
in the evening there came riding into
the village a young and handsome officer
in a splendid uniform, with a cross of
honor on his breast. lie asked for the
old man who had lent his coat to the
guide. The kind hearted old man as
soon as he saw the officer cried out, at
is my own son Rudolph" and he fold
ed him to his arms.
Now, Rudolph had been enlisted as a
soldier many years before and had been
promoted to be an officer on account Of
his good conduct and his valor. He had
heard nothing more of his father, who
was formerly Il master smith in a market
town. But the son knew the old cloak
and felt sure by the account of the guide
that his father was at this time living in
that village.
Father and son wcpt for joy, and all
the people who stood near wcpt with
them. Rudolph remained with his father
all the night. lie gave him before he
rode away a supply Of money and prom
ised to take further care of him.

had compassion on others so God has had
compassion on him and has let his son
