THE BOOK SILAS MARNER GAVE ME A REASON TO FORGIVE: Silas was a respected member of a church at Lantern Yard in a city to the north. His fits were regarded there as a mark of special closeness to the Holy Spirit. He had a close friend named William Dane, and he was engaged to marry a serving girl named Sarah. But one day the elder deacon fell ill and had to be tended day and night by members of the congregation, as he was a childless widower. During Silas watch, a bag of money disappears from a drawer by the deacons bed. Silas knife is found in the drawer, but Silas swears he is innocent and asks that his room be searched. In order to find out the truth, the church members resort to prayer and drawing of lots, and the lots declare Silas guilty. Silas, betrayed by his friend and now by his God, declares that there is no just God. He is sure that Sarah will desert him too, and he takes refuge in his work. He soon receives word from Sarah that their engagement is ended, and a month later she marries William Dane his friend.... after 21years of reading this story in my literature class, i have just found the its value.
