where a man named Jairus lived。 This man was a ruler in the synagogue�察�

and he had just one little daughter about twelve years of age。 At the time 

that Jesus was there the little daughter was very sick�察�and at last she lay a´ 

dying。 

     Her father heard that there was a wonderful man near the town�察�who 

was healing sick people whom no one else could help�察�and in his despair 

he ran out into the streets to search for Him。 He found Jesus walking in the 

midst of a crowd of people�察�and when he saw Him he fell down at Jesus 

feet and besought Him to come into his house�察�to heal his daughter。 And 

Jesus   said�察�Yes�察  �he   would   go   with   him。   But   there   were   so   many   people 

begging to be healed�察�and so many looking to see what happened�察�that the 

crowd thronged them�察�and kept them from moving fast。 And before they 

reached the house one of the man's servants came to meet them�察�and said�察�

;Thy daughter is dead�察�trouble not the Master to come farther。; 

     But    instantly  Jesus   turned    to  the  father  and   said�察  �Fear   not�察  �only 

believe�察�and she shall be made whole。; And He went on with Jairus�察�to the 

house。 

     When they came to the house�察�they heard the sound of weeping   and 

lamentation�察�the household was mourning for the little daughter�察�who was 

dead。 Jesus sent all the strangers away from the door�察�and only three of His 

disciples   and   the   father   and   mother   of   the   child   went   in   with   Him。 And 

when He was within�察�He said to the mourning people�察 �Weep not�察�she is 

not dead�察�she sleepeth。; 

     When He had passed�察�they laughed Him to scorn�察�for they knew that 

she was dead。 

     Then Jesus left them all�察�and went alone into the chamber where the 

little daughter lay。 And when He was there�察�alone�察�He went up to the bed

where she was�察�and bent over her�察�and took her by the hand。 And He said�察�

;Maiden�察�arise。; 

     And her spirit came unto her again� �And she lived�察�and grew up in her 

father's house。

     ARTHUR AND THE SWORD��1�А�



     ��1�А�Adapted from Sir Thomas Malory。 

       Once   there   was   a   great   king   in   Britain   named   Uther�察  �and   when   he 

died the other kings and princes disputed over the kingdom�察�each wanting 

it for himself。 But King Uther had a son named Arthur�察�the rightful heir to 

the throne�察  �of   whom  no   one   knew�察 �for   he   had   been   taken   away  secretly 

while he was still a baby by a wise old man called Merlin�察�who had him 

brought up in the family of a certain Sir Ector�察�for fear of the malice of 

wicked knights。 Even the boy himself thought Sir Ector was his father�察�and 

he loved Sir Ector's son�察�Sir Kay�察�with the love of a brother。 

     When the kings and princes could not be kept in check any longer�察�and 

something had to be done to determine who was to be king�察�Merlin made 

the Archbishop of Canterbury send for them all to come to London。 It was 

Christmas time�察�and in the great cathedral a solemn service was held�察�and 

prayer  was   made   that   some   sign   should   be   given�察 �to   show   who   was   the 

rightful king。 When the service was over�察�there appeared a strange stone in 

the   churchyard�察  �against   the   high   altar。   It   was   a   great   white   stone�察  �like 

marble�察�with something sunk in it that looked like a steel anvil�察�and in the 

anvil was driven a great glistening sword。 The sword had letters of gold 

written on it�察�which read�此 �Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and 

anvil is rightwise king born of all England。; 

     All wondered at the strange sword and its strange writing�察�and when 

the archbishop himself came out and gave permission�察�many of the knights 

tried to pull the sword from the stone�察�hoping to be king。 But no one could 

move it a hair's breadth。 

     ;He is not here�察─�said the archbishop�察 �that shall achieve the sword�察�but

doubt not�察�God will make him known。; 

     Then     they   set  a  guard   of  ten   knights    to  keep   the  stone�察  �and   the 

archbishop   appointed   a   day  when   all   should   come   together   to   try  at   the 

stone��kings from far and near。 In the meantime�察�splendid jousts were held�察�

outside London�察�and both knights and commons were bidden。 

     Sir Ector came up to the jousts�察�with others�察�and with him rode Kay 

and Arthur。  Kay had   been made   a knight   at Allhallowmas�察 �and when   he 

found there was to be so fine a joust he wanted a sword�察�to join it。 But he 

had   left   his   sword   behind�察  �where   his   father   and   he   had   slept   the   night 

before。 So he asked young Arthur to ride for it。 

     ;I will well�察─�said Arthur�察�and rode back for it。 But when he came to 

the castle�察�the lady and all her household were at the jousting�察�and there 

was none to let him in。 

     Thereat   Arthur     said   to  himself�察   �My   brother   Sir    Kay   shall   not  be 

without a sword this day。; And he remembered the sword he had seen in 

the churchyard。 ;I will to the churchyard�察─�he said�察 �and take that sword 

with me。; So he rode into the churchyard�察�tied his horse to the stile�察�and 

went up to the stone。 The guards were away to the tourney�察�and the sword 

was there�察�alone。 

     Going up to the stone�察�young Arthur took the great sword by the hilt�察�

and lightly and fiercely he drew it out of the anvil。 

     Then he rode straight to Sir Kay�察�and gave it to him。 

     Sir Kay knew instantly that it was the sword of the stone�察�and he rode 

off at once to his father and said�察 �Sir�察�lo�察�here is the sword of the stone�察�I 

must be king of the land。; But Sir Ector asked him where he got the sword。 

And when Sir Kay said�察 �From my brother�察─�he asked Arthur how he got it。 

When   Arthur   told   him�察  �Sir   Ector   bowed   his   head   before   him。   ;Now   I 

understand ye must be king of this land�察─�he said to Arthur。 

     ;Wherefore I�拭─�said Arthur。 

     ;For God will have it so�察─�said Ector�察 �never man should have drawn 

out this sword but he that shall be rightwise king of this land。 Now let me 

see   whether   ye   can   put the   sword   as   it   was in the   stone�察  �and pull   it   out 

again。; 

     Straightway Arthur put the sword back。

     Then Sir Ector tried to pull it out�察�and after him Sir Kay�察�but neither 

could stir it。 Then Arthur pulled it out。 Thereupon�察�Sir Ector and Sir Kay 

kneeled upon the ground before him。 

     ;Alas�察─�said Arthur�察 �mine own dear father and brother�察�why kneel ye 

to me�拭─�

     Sir Ector told him�察�then�察�all about his royal birth�察�and how he had been 

taken privily away by Merlin。 But when Arthur found Sir Ector was not 

truly his father�察�he was so sad at heart that he cared not greatly to be king。 

And he begged his father and brother to love him still。 Sir Ector asked that 

Sir Kay might be seneschal when Arthur was king。 Arthur promised with 

all his heart。 

     Then   they   went   to   the   archbishop   and   told   him   that   the   sword   had 

found its master。 The archbishop appointed a day for the trial to be made 

in   the   sight   of   all   men�察  �and   on   that   day   the   princes   and   knights   came 

together�察�and each tried to draw out the sword�察�as before。 But as before�察�

none could so much as stir it。 

     Then came Arthur�察�and pulled it easily from its place。 

     The knights and kings were terribly angry that a boy from nowhere in 

particular   had   beaten   them�察  �and   they   refused   to   acknowledge
