cloudless day. <strong>The</strong>re will not be even the need of sun in that time, for Jesus Christ will be the<br />

Lamb and the Light of the City.<br />

As we were leaving the train, the young man was, indeed, carrying all my luggage. We<br />

walked toward the depot. People were crowded together under the canopy for protection from the<br />

rain. I was about twenty-five feet from them when I saw a little lady, very shabbily dressed. She<br />

had a babushka around her neck. Her coat was ragged. <strong>The</strong> tops of her shoes had come loose from<br />

the bottom, but O she had the face of an angel. I smiled at her and she smiled at me. We ran into<br />

each others' arms. We needed no introduction. She was the one waiting for me.<br />

Well, the young man was perplexed. He said, "Follow me." He still had the address on the<br />

piece of paper.<br />

My friend and I followed him. He put us in a taxi. He put our luggage on the front seat,<br />

handed the driver a few Israelic pounds and said, "Now, take these women to such and such an<br />

address." He stepped out and tipped his hat to say shalom to me.<br />

I said, "Wait a minute, young man. I have a little bichele [the Yiddish word for a little<br />

book]. It's something I've written and it tells how I found Jesus of Nazareth. Would you like to<br />

have it?"<br />

"Yes, yes!" He quickly grabbed it from my hands, and again he started to tip his hat as<br />

though to leave.<br />

I said, "No, wait a minute, young man; I have another little bichele here. It is the new<br />

covenant. It tells all about Yeshua Ha Mashiach and the fulfillment of what our prophets predicted.<br />

Would you like to have it?"<br />

He grabbed it eagerly. "Yes, yes!"<br />

I said, "Wait a minute, young man, I have one question to ask you. Tell me, did you think it<br />

was because of your own goodness of heart that you carried my luggage? Did you think it was your<br />

idea to do it? Did you think it was because you are so fine and good? I appreciate it, but do you<br />

think it is because of your goodness that you have given this taxi driver Israeli pounds to get us to<br />

this address?"<br />

He dropped his head in shame. He looked up at me with tears running down his cheeks and<br />

said, "No, Madam. It was your Lord."<br />

AT EICHMANN'S TRIAL<br />

I was in Jerusalem during the last week of the trial of Adolph Eichmann, the man who was<br />

responsible for the murdering of two million Jews. He had his own quick solution for the Jewish
