Excerpt from William T. Stead and His Peace MessageWe also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses! With that inspiring challenge the Hebrew Christians Of the Olden time were urged to more patient endurance and more steadfast endeavor. They were encouraged to regard their little lives as the observed Of those unseen Observers, the saints and heroes who crowd the galleries of Hebrew history. A vivid sense of that alert and interested audience nerved them to more heroic effort. In that radiant presence Of the glorified dead even the least Of the living Hebrews could run his race with patience, and the most faint-hearted could fight the good fight Of faith.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
