{UAH} The Crimson Candle

  A MAN lying at the point of death called his wife to his bedside

and said:

 

  "I am about to leave you forever; give me, therefore, one last

proof of your affection and fidelity, for, according to our holy

religion, a married man seeking admittance at the gate of Heaven is

required to swear that he has never defiled himself with an

unworthy woman.  In my desk you will find a crimson candle, which

has been blessed by the High Priest and has a peculiar mystical

significance.  Swear to me that while it is in existence you will

not remarry."

 

  The Woman swore and the Man died.  At the funeral the Woman stood

at the head of the bier, holding a lighted crimson candle till it

was wasted entirely away.
