By Eckstein, Sculptor and Painter to the King of Prussia. (Deposited by Charles E. Beynroth, Esq.) "And it came to pass, the day after, that he went into a City called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now, when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her--'Weep not!' And he came and touched the bier, and they that bore him stood still. And he said,--'Young man! I say unto thee, arise!' And he that was dead sat up and began to speak!--And he delivered him to his mother." Luke vii.--11-16. [P. 9.]
