What did Christ himself say?
That if one rose from the dead it would not avail.

And yet we are always looking for the miraculous! I believe that unhappy old man truly grieves for his son, whom he treated cruelly without the final intention of cruelty, for he loved him and wished to be proud of him; but I don't think his death has changed him, any more than the smallest event in the chain of events remotely working through his nature from the beginning.

But why do you think he's changed at all?
Because he offers to sell me Every Other Week on easy terms?
He says himself that he has no further use for the thing; and he knows perfectly well that he couldn't get his money out of it now, without an enormous shrinkage.

He couldn't appear at this late day as the owner, and sell it to anybody but Fulkerson and me for a fifth of what it's cost him.

He can sell it to us for all it's cost him; and four per cent.
is no bad interest on his money till we can pay it back.
