Some Sundays afterwards he had occasion to read the following epistle:—

“Be you humbled under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in

the time of visitation. Casting all your care upon Him, for He hath

care of you. Be sober and watch; for your adversary the devil, as a

roaring lion goeth about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist ye,

strong in faith....”

As he did so, his eye travelled over to me; and the following day he

came over to me.

“I know what you are going to say. You make me watchful of my

epistles,” he said.
