Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIV. "BEFORE THEY CALL I WILL ANSWER." echoed my opinion. The harmony and homeliness of the place is something marvellous. There is a holy clannishness about the men, and a devotedness to the President, which springs from a loyalty to God. Often have I longed for a fitting opportunity to express my gratitude to all those whose influence and interest here helped to fit and prepare me for my life-work. Of the President I will say nothing, because language fails to express what I mean. Any title either before or after his name seems to detract from the grandeur of it. To me he is Spurgeon. That name " unadorned is adorned the most." Mr. James Spurgeon, who is better known as Mr. Spurgeon's brother, is a born co pastor and a good background for his brother's glorious life. From the day I first knew him till now, I have always felt and found I have a friend whom I can consult in any difficulty, and one on whose counsel I can rely. Dear old Mr. Rogers was chairman during my College course, and amongst other things, saw me safely over the "Pons Asinorum." Mr. Gracey is full of grace, and as genial as his countrymen generally are. He sparkles like the emerald, and is as fresh as his own Emerald Isle. For Mr. Fergusson's fatherly tuition I shall ever be thankful. He is as strong and healthy in his influence as his native hills and heather, and has always been as a father to me. And Mr. Selway's scientific lectures have been of much service in my work. It fell to my lot in the classes to sit next to A. J. Clarke, a man of fire and full of zeal. His theology seemed to be "souls for the Saviour, and service for Christ." This drew my heart out towards him: we soon became College companions, and were designated by the brethren, "The College...

Stray
Author: Stephanie Danler
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101875976
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
From the bestselling author of Sweetbitter, a memoir of growing up in a family shattered by lies and addiction, and of one woman's attempts to find a life beyond the limits of her past. Stray is a moving, sometimes devastating, brilliantly written and ultimately inspiring exploration of the landscapes of damage and survival. After selling her first novel--a dream she'd worked long and hard for--Stephanie Danler knew she should be happy. Instead, she found herself driven to face the difficult past she'd left behind a decade ago: a mother disabled by years of alcoholism, further handicapped by a tragic brain aneurysm; a father who abandoned the family when she was three, now a meth addict in and out of recovery. After years in New York City she's pulled home to Southern California by forces she doesn't totally understand, haunted by questions of legacy and trauma. Here, she works toward answers, uncovering hard truths about her parents and herself as she explores whether it's possible to change the course of her history. Lucid and honest, heart-breaking and full of hope, Stray is an examination of what we inherit and what we don't have to, of what we have to face in ourselves to move forward, and what it's like to let go of one's parents in order to find peace--and a family--of one's own.
