The Gilpins and their Fortunes: A Story of Early Days in Australia - William Henry Giles Kingston

The contrast between the career of the brothers and their quondam friend was great, but not greater than will usually be found between those who set the Lord always before their eyes, and seek him early while yet He may be found, and those who turn aside from His ways and refuse to follow them.

It seemed probable, indeed, that, but for them, he would have remained a hut-keeper to the end of his days.

The End.
