Note Relating to Cather
In Sapphira and the Slave Girl, there are two allusions to the verses from the Sermon on the Mount that state that every soul has worth. The first is Mandy Ringer's response to Buck Keyser's whipping Casper Flight and the other to Henry Colbert's prayer for the safety of Rachel Blake and Nancy.
