Excerpt from The Wonderful Escape: A Brief MemoirMusing on the progressive nature of his piety, - how year by year, from an elevation seldom attained, he rose yet higher and higher in heavenly-mindedness, re¿ecting more and more steadily and distinctly the image of his Lord, I might have applied to him the words of Solomon The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.The testimonies received during his illness respecting the spiritual good to others, of which God had made him the instrument both by his tongue and pen, might have led me to select the text They shall still bring forth fruit in Old age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
