Faithful

"This new personage opens out a new view of spiritual progress and experience, and sets before us a worthy and exemplary illustration of a consistent walk, and steadfast testimony, even unto death. It would be a profitable study, even to the most experienced Christian, to sit and listen to these men, CHRISTIAN and FAITHFUL, comparing notes of the way, contrasting or combining their respective experiences of the Pilgrimage, and proving in their own persons how 'there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all,' 1 Corinthians 12:6."[1]
