DISCIPLEso this bell calls us all: but how much
more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an
island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to

greatly desire to see them striving to perfect Christian characters, seeking by diligent study and earnest prayer to gain
the training essential for acceptable service in the cause of God. I long to see

way so plain that a little child can walk in it. He bids His disciples follow on to know
the Lord; and as they daily follow His guidance, they learn that His going forth
is prepared as the morning.
