wearing the "brand." 



I want to thank you for what I have gathered 

 from your contributions from time to time that has 

 encouraged me in the way of the higher Christian 

 citienshipz. My father and grandfathers on both 

 sides were local preachers in the Methodist church, 

 and that mantle has descended on me. It is a 

 grand thing just to wear the brand, outside of 

 what one may accomplish in his activities for God.

•the best 80 ACRES IN INDIANA," ETC. 



I am a poor man whom the storms of life have 

 hit very hard. I read all of Gleanings, sometimes 

 over and over ; but the best of all is Our Homes. 

 I have read borrowed numbers for years back, and 

 have obtained an abundance of good from them; 

 but the grandest of all is in the Home talks of 

 August 15. As I finished your wonderful thought 

 structure on the three texts I said to myself, "I 

 am a poor man ; but I would not part with this for 

 tlip best 80 acres in Indiana." God bless you, and 

 make you even more useful
