Présentation de l'éditeur

It gives me pleasure to introduce the subject of this sketch. In the providence of God I was twice entertained in the home of his parents, as I held revival services in Sioux City, I owa. Although at that time he did not claim to be a Christian, yet he was so very dutiful and obedient to his parents marks which are so much wanting in the lives of so many boys these days. One thing that has lingered with me since my first acquaintance with Brenton is this: although he was a real boy, and enjoyed a romp and fun like other boys, yet he would never intrude himself on my time. The very moment of any indication that I was through having fun with him, that moment he would cease, and never hint that he wanted more, till he could see me advance in that direction. This was so uncommon with the general run of children that it made a lasting impression upon my mind. I am now holding revival meetings (M ay 1920) for the third time with his father. Since I saw Brenton last he has been converted and sanctified, and has slipped away to be with Jesus forever. The home does not seem the same without him. While the home is poorer, heaven is richer. I went out to the silent grave, in company with his father. What a beautiful place nature has provided on that lovely hillside overlooking the Golden Gate! It is one of the beauty spots of earth. A round the grave on the greensward we knelt and asked the Lord to help us to hold out faithful to the end. Some glad day, when Jesus appears in the clouds, Brenton sbody will arise from the dust and together with loved ones all shall be for ever with their Lord. Let us all so live that we may be ready to meet him on that bright morning. W. E. Shepard.
