few more sentences on Ôthe holiness of GodÕ
and Ôthe grandeur of this Book,Õ looking at the Bible which he was holding tenderly all the time, he
suddenly said: ÒI have a summer house in the garden, which holds about thirty people. It is over there,Ó
pointing through the open window. ÒI want you
very much to speak there. I know you read the
Bible in the villages. To-morrow afternoon I should
like the servants on the place, some tenants and a few
of the neighbors to gather there. Will you
speak to them?Ó ÒWhat shall I speak about?Ó I asked. ÒChrist Jesus!Ó he replied
in a clear, emphatic voice, adding in a lower
tone, Òand his salvation. Is not that the best
theme? And then I want you to sing some hymns with them. You lead on your small instrument, do you not?Ó
