Pioneer Evangelists Of the Pacific Northwest

Titus 2:11-14 reads: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

We have the blessed assurance that these scriptures have proven true in our lives. We also long that (Psa. 116:15—Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints, and Rev. 14:15—Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth . . . that they may rest from their labours and their works do follow them) may be true in our death.

We both are so indebted to the Lord for his support and divine guidance, that we desire to acknowledge His special help in protecting and preparing our young lives for his service. And this we do humbly by affixing and prefixing a few chapters to those already mentioned, hoping it will encourage other young people to dedicate their lives to the Lord and His service.

Love is not love which alteration finds,

Or bends its pursurer to pursue,

But love is love, when like its giver kind,

Lays down its life for I and You.
