Thegospeldoesnotrecallthename ofthissoldier,butaccordingtotradition,hewascalledLonginus.It issaidthathewasafflictedwith short-sightedness,almosttothe vergeofblindness,butafterhiscruellancethrust,somedropsofthe Preciousbloodwhichgushedfrom thesacredwoundsprinkledhisbrow andfloweddownuponhiseyelids. Immediatelyhissightbecameclear, andstrong,andatthes-metime bythisholybaptism,hissoulwas transformedandherecognisedinthe DivinevictimofCalvaryJesus Christ,theSonofGod.Having beencommandedtoguardthetomb oftheSaviourafterHisburial,he wasoneofthewitnessesoftheResurrection,andrelatedittothe chiefpriestsanddoctorsofthelaw. Vainlytheytriedtobribehimto givefalsetestimony,astheyhad donetohiscompanions.Herefusedwithindignation,andboldlyproclaimedinthecityofJerusalem,the ResurrectionoftheLord. When thetermofhismilitaryservicehad exeired,Longinusquittedthearmy andretiredtotheneighbourhoodof Capadocia,wherehepublishedfar andnearthewonderfulmiracleit hadbeenhisprivilegetowitness. Twentyorthirtyyearspassed away.PersecutionassailedtheinfantChurch,andtheGovernorof theProvince,knowingthatLonginuswasaChristiansentsoldiersto arrestthemanofGod.NearSebestetheyovertookamanwhowas journeyingthesameway.

"IsitnotinthisProvincethat Longinusdw_lls?"theyasked."He wasformerlyacaptainintheRomanarmy,butisnowafollowerof Christ,anddevoteshimselftospreadingthesuperstitionsoftheChristians."

"Hedwellsinthiscountry,"was thereply. "Whatdoyouwant withhim?"

"Wehaveorderstoarresthim, andconducthimtotheGovernor, whohasdecidedthatheistodie. Canyoutelluswhereheistobe found?"

"Certainly,"resPondedtheman. "Butitislatecomewithmeand acceptmyhospitalityforthepresent."

Thesoldierswillinglyavailedtheniselvesofhisoffer,andrepairedto hishome.Theirhost,accordingto Orientalcustom,gavethemamost cordialwelcome.Hebroughtwater tobathetheirfeet,andprovided themwithanabundant,thoughfrugal,repast. FroMtimetotime numbersofpoorpeopleprerented themselvesatthedoor,andthemasterofthehousegavethem,with sweetbenevolence,aPortionofthe repast.SosimPlewashisgenerositythatitseemedasifhewasthe fatherofallthePoor,whoclaimed hishospitality.Hisconversation, alwaysrefinedandelevatedyetsomewhatreminiscentofmilitarylife, hadfortheseRomansoldiersa charmforwhichtheycouldnotaccount.

"Howunfortunate,"saidthey, "thatto-morrowweareobligedto quityourhospitableroofinorderto arrestthatmiserableagitator! Do youthinkhewillescapeus?" -

"Havenofear,"repliedthehost.

"Imyselfwilldeliverhimselfinto yourhands.Remainhereaslong asitPleasesyou."

Thesoldiersremainedthreedays. Theyseemedunwillingtoquitso hospitablearoof,andsuchanentertainingcompanion.ButtheGovernorwouldnotexcuseanyfurther delay.Onthethirdday,atthe closeoftheirrepast,theleadersaid "TodayImustaskyoutoconduct ustoLonginus,whomwecameto arrest."

"Iamhe,"repliedtheoldman withasmileandIamquiteready tofollowyou."

Thesoldierswerespeechlesswith astonishment,whileLonginuscontinued "Butyouwillallowme torepairforafewminutestoa neighbouringapartment?"

Alittlelaterhereappearedrobed inthemostbeautifulwhitefestal garments,accordingtothecustomof theOrient.

"Deathsaidhe,"willreuniteMe withJesusChrist.Itwillbemy nuptialday,myfeastoffeasts."

"ButwhoisJesusChrist?"askedthesoldierswithgreatearnestness. AndLonginus,takingtheopportunity,gladlyinstructedtheminthe truthsofChristianity.Theyhad eyestoseeandearstohear,and theseedoftheGospeltellupon goodground.

"Wewillnotarrestyou,"said they,"for,behold,we,too,proclaim ourselvesChristians.Letusgoto theGoverner,confessJesusChrist and,ifnecessary,dieforHim."

ProclaimingthepraisesofthecrucifiedRedeemer,theyreturnedtothe praetoriuzn,whereallthreewerebeheaded,andobtainedthemartyr's crown.
