Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mother's Answered Prayer
The noblest heritage that parents can give to their children, is that of a Christian parentage. The Psalmist David says, I have been young and now I am old, yet have I not seen the right eons forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Our God is a just and loving Father, and though He visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the chil dren unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Him: yet He sheweth mercy unto thousands Of them that love Him and keep His commandments. In Deuteronomy 7: 8 we read, Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.' I know of no higher eulogy to pronounce upon my parents than this, that they gave to me a Christian birth and the attendant blessings there of. My parents and my grandparents were Chris tians. I count that a noble heritage. I mention this, because in the following narrative, we trace in the history of a life, something of the Chris tian influence of parents, and a mother's prayer for her little son, then between eight and nine years of age.
