I love reading about Godly men and women from our past. You will find me writing about them frequently.

This one even has a Canadian connection where he lived in Nova Scotia .This man has alegacy inscribed on a tablet behind a pulpit that was preached on by John Geddie in a church in the South Seas. Every time I read this it gives me the shivers.
