CONTENTS
CHAPTER ONE
However archaic and conventional it may sound, it is the literal fact that young Scott Brenton was led into the ministry by the prayer of his widowed mother. Furthermore, the prayer was not made to him, but offered in secret and in all sincerity at the Throne of Grace.
Oh, my dearest Lord and Master, she prayed, at her evening devotions upon her knees and with her work-roughened hands clasped upon the gaudy patchwork quilt; guide Thou my son. Bring him to feel that his perfect happiness can come only from going forth to preach Thy word to all men.
