who, having received the ministration through my humble instrumentality
have constantly given from hearts and hands the sympathy and aid
needed to perform that work--and during the feebleness of the body
have sent strength and succor; and _especially_ to the beloved and
loving friends: DR. CHAS. H. BUSHNELL, whose skill, healing power and
faithful attendance were given without stint or measure and _most
lovingly_, SARAH J. ASHTON, co-worker for more than a quarter of a
century, Assistant Pastor of my Congregation and, above all else,
_faithful, devoted friend_, without whose unfailing care and constant
helpfulness for long months my spirit could not have returned to its
human habitation to take up its assigned work,
This imperfect record of experiences is most _lovingly_ and
_gratefully_ inscribed.
