When Albrecht Diirer (from whose " Folded Hands" the cover dest was adapted) was a poor struggling artist, a friend of his who also aspired to be an artist made an agreement with him that he wou ld do man ual labor to earn their living while Diirer studied and pai n ted . Later. it wJs planned, he sh ould have his turn to paint. But when success came to Diirer h is friend's hands had become so twisted and stiff that he could no longer paint. One day, seei his friend's work - worn hands in prayer, Diirer thought, "I can never give back the lost skill o hose hands, but I can show my feeling of love and gratitude by painting his hands as they are w , folded in prayer. to show my appreciation of a noble and unsellish character."

Has found sweet rest at last.
