No. 4, and I
do sincerely thank God that I went, because now I can see how
far from the Lord I was wandering and so unintentionally
because I never meant to be a sinner, but I just wanted to have
a good time. But now, I can see where some of those good times
lead us.
Captain, I often think how brave you must have been to go on
with the work at No. 4, with so little help, 'that is, earthly
help.' I am sorry that I could not help you, but you see I was
not brave like you. I could not talk about Jesus to those who
scoffed, but I do want Jesus to help me and strengthen me to do
His will. Captain, do you know there is a song that always come
to me when I am in any difficulty, 'Lead Me Saviour.'
Yours sincerely,

down upon your knees, at this very moment, just as you are, and open
your heart to God, and let Jesus come in: and I know and you will know
that the remaining days of your life will be sweet and happy; and when
the roll is called up yonder you'll be there, in a robe of white with
the angels in the air to meet the Lamb of God, Who will say unto all
that loved Him and worked for Him, "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: enter thou into the joy of Thy Lord."

It is said, by Him who never told a lie, that every tree is known by its
own fruit, and the confirmation of the statement is conclusive to the
student of natural and human history.
It was an idea of King Maximilian of Bavaria, to transmit to history a
reminder of his reign. He instructed the architects of Germany to design
a new style to be named after him. Such a style of Maximilianesque was
created. An architect--it was Semper, if I am not mistaken--when asked
to take a part in this creation of the so-called Maximilian style,
answered that such a thing coul
