From threats they passed to galling insults, all which he bore patiently for Jesu's sake. But one day a party of his people came and sold some fowls, and an impudent fellow lifted them after they had been bought and offered to sell them again to me. Kowia shouted, "Don't purchase these, Missi; I have just bought them for you, and paid for them!" Thereon the fellow began to mock at him.
Some of them we shall never see again on earth, but they are still 'in Jesu's keeping. Some of them are still far away from us fighting for their country. But they, too, are 'in Jesu's keeping, and for them we are not afraid. We said 'Good-bye' many months ago, but it meant 'God be with you, and our farewell prayer has been answered. Here or there we expect to clasp hands with them again.
His pain and suffering were great but he bore all very quietly, as he said and kept saying, "For the sake of Jesus! For Jesu's sake!" He was constantly praying for his persecutors, "O Lord Jesus, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. Oh, take not away all Thy servants from Tanna! Take not away Thy Worship from this dark island! O God, bring all the Tannese to love and follow Jesus!"
As the last man got up he exclaimed 'Herre, Jesu Kors Aldrig saae jeg saadan Hors. 'By the Lord Jesu's cross, Never saw I such a horse. Instantly at that holy name the horse disappeared from under them, and the three Bønder were lying on the ground. The Danish word for horse is 'hest, but the Jutland people use the word 'hors, in their dialect."

At the annual 'Roll Call Meeting, held in Wesley Hall, Aldershot, in January, 1900, we took as our 'Motto' for the next twelve months the words of Bishop Bickersteth's beautiful hymn 'In Jesu's keeping we are safe, and they. All of us had friends in South Africa.
It seemed to Henry suddenly that the old man's hair was very grey and thin.... He took out his handkerchief and waved it vigorously in response. Somewhere in the steerage people were singing a hymn: 'Til we me .. ee .. eet, 'til we me .. eet, 'Til we meet at Je . e . su's feet ... Jesu's feet, 'Til we me .. ee .. eet, 'til we me .. eet, God be with you 'til we meet again!
Jesu's blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. With much difficulty he responded : Mercy's full power I soon shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love. "If Jesus is very present with thee lift thy right hand," said his wife, as she bent over him. He raised it. Waiting a moment or two she said, "If the prospect of glory opens before thee, repeat the sign."
Shall I tell Morris to bring you something? I thought you monks fared better than that." In a moment Chris was on his knees on the rushes; his hands gripped his brother's arms, and his wild eyes were staring up with a fanatical fire of entreaty in them. His words broke out like a torrent. "Ralph," he said, "dear brother! for Jesu's sake, come away! I have heard everything.
Make an act of sorrow in your heart for all your sins; it will stand for confession. Think of Jesu's love, and of His death on the bitter cross the wounds that He bore for us in love. Give me a sign if you can that you repent." Chris spoke rapidly, and leaned back a moment.
