The future held a for him no ray of hope as far as he t sou Id see. His invironment were Jark and gloomy. Loved by his v aged lather and hated bv his broth- t ren because of his fathers' favorite- f ism his pathway was not strewn J with roses without thorns, Yet the s hand of God in the government of men traced in the web of life a glorious t climax in the destiny of nations that J was to make the name of this child 1 famous in sacred as well as profane J history. Strong in the faith that was in him, uncompromising in his 1 devotion to the friend and patron that trusted him and his honor.
