eautiful than anything he knew
of. The calm of it was wondrous, and George involuntarily found
himself saying over: "Thou wilt keep him in _perfect peace_ whose mind
is stayed on Thee," and instantly there flashed upon him, in connection
with that word, one other: "Enoch _walked with God_, and was not, for
God took him."

"He might be Enoch returned to earth," he told himself.

The other man was a different specimen. His features were strongly
Jewish marked. There was a fierceness of eye, a power for a blazing
wrath in his deep-set orbs. Not that the first man's eyes and face
were incapable of fiery indignation, but they gave indication of having
been schooled by long intercourse with the divine keeping power of the
God of Peace.

The men were evidently preachers--prophet-preachers. They spoke
alternately, their voices clear, far-reaching, their tones perfectly
natural--there was no raising of the voice--yet reaching as far as the
farthest listener.

Their message was a Testimony to God, to His power, His might, His
Holiness, even to His mercy. They told of judgments, near at hand,

destruction which should overtake Anti-christ and his followers."

A roar, savage and full as from ten thousand lions, with the snarl of
wolves in it, greeted this last part of the testimony, while a thousand
throats belched forth the cry:

"Down with them! murder them!"

There was a savage rush towards the sackclothed prophets. But though
the multitude of would-be murderers swept over, around, and past the
mound on which the two faithful witnesses had been standing, and though
they did not _see_ them disappear, yet they were not found.

"_And when they shall have completed their Testimony, the Beast that
cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them,
and kill them--._"

"Yes," mused George Bullen, "when they have completed their Testimony,"
and not an hour, or a day before. For these are evidently God's two
faithful witnesses, Enoch and Elijah, the only two men who never passed
through mortal death, and hence are the only two saints who can become
God's wi
