D. HE COMES TO HIMSELF

It must have been some Jewish feast day, or holiday that turned his thoughts back to his old home. There is no day in our time that will arouse and stir a young man’s heart like Thanksgiving or Christmas. As he watched the swine eating their food, he thought, here I am the son of a good father, who has comfortable quarters and plenty of food for his servants, and this old farmer feeds his hogs better than he does me. I am perishing with hunger.
