(continued from previous page)
He thrust the old man out of this tent and left him emposed to all the dangers and discomforts of the night. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham and asked where the stranger was. Abraham replied, 'I thrust him from me for he did not worship Thee.' 'The hundred years', was God's reply, 'I have suffered him although he dishonoured me and could'st not thou endure him for one night when he gave thee no trouble.' Abraham brought the old man back again and showed him all the kindness in his power, and gave him wise instruction. This story was given by Brian Uniacke of Lissalondonn. Craughwell.
