[The Sky Pilot by Ralph Connor]@TWC D-Link bookThe Sky Pilot CHAPTER X 12/13
The great figure of the Gospels lived, moved before our eyes.
We saw Him bend to touch the blind, we heard Him speak His marvellous teaching, we felt the throbbing excitement of the crowds that pressed against Him. Suddenly The Pilot stopped, turned over the leaves and began again: "And He led them out as far as to Bethany.
And He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
And it came to pass as He blessed them He was parted from them and a cloud received Him out of their sight." There was silence for some minutes, then Gwen said: "Where did He go ?" "Up into Heaven," answered The Pilot, simply. "That's where mother is," she said to her father, who nodded in reply. "Does He know ?" she asked.
The old man looked distressed. "Of course He does," said The Pilot, "and she sees Him all the time." "Oh, daddy!" she cried, "isn't that good ?" But the old man only hid his face in his hands and groaned. "Yes," went on The Pilot, "and He sees us, too, and hears us speak, and knows our thoughts." Again the look of wonder and fear came into her eyes, but she said no word.
