AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED

TO MY

BELOVED AND HONORED PARENTS,

in token of grateful remembrance

of the religious culture so assiduously bestowed during childhood, and the judicious counsel and sympathy of riper years,

with the fervent prayer,

that they through whose instrumentality

"I from a child have known the Scriptures," may make rapid

advancement in the

"Way of Holiness" during life, and have, eventually, an abundant

entrance ministered unto them,

into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour,

Jesus Christ.
