CHAPTER FIRST
LIFE OF GEORGE L. HERR
By EDWARD De ALMA
A BRAND PLUCKED FROM THE BURNING.
"As we sow so shall we reap."
Born in the city of Louisville, of an old Kentucky family, whose escutcheon had never been shadowed by smirch or breath of shame or ignominy, it might truthfully be said of George L. Herr that he had been ushered into this world with the proverbial "gold spoon in his mouth," his father, the late Richard S. Herr, being a prominent and highly esteemed and wealthy citizen of the grand old state of Kentucky. Though surrounded by the luxuries of life, by environments unusually favorable for the development of a strong, healthy, vigorous and clean life, yet Brother Herr's life from his youth up to the period of this writing, presents an aspect checkered with the lights and shadows of temptation, sin, remorse, repentance, redemption and restful peace of heart in salvation through Jesus.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is the help of man.—Ps. 108:12.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Ps. 46:1.
