Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler

CHAPTER XXXI
14/16

He works by _means_: "How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ?" God works through the voice of the Bible scattered over the world.

and what shall I drink?
and wherewithal shall I be clothed?
The preacher is told to put his trust in the Lord.
