In the G alloys of the River Loire, whither Knox and the others, after their Castle of St. Andrew's was taken, had been sent as tJalloT-slaves, — some officer or priest, one day, presented them nil Image of the Virgin Mother, requiring that they, the blas- phiitnous heretics, should do it reverence. Mother ? Mother of Uod ? Kaid Knox, when the turn came to him : This is no Mother of G J ; this is * a periled bredd, — a piece of wood, I tell you, with paint on it ! She is fitter for swimming, I ...think, than for being VForfeshipped, added Knox ; and flung the thing into the river. It was Ttot very cheap jesting there : but come of it what might, this thing to Knox was and must continue nothing other than the real truth ; it was a perUed bredd : worship it he would not. He told his fellow-prisoners, in this darkest time, to be of courage ; the Cause they had was the true one, and must and would pros- per ; the whole world could not put it down. Reality is of God's making ; it is alone strong.
