Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Memoir of Thomas Zell
While he partook of the innocent pleasures which surrounded him, he was proof against the contaminating in?uences of a worldly Spirit, so that in his life and conversation he was a bright example of the power of divine grace, when submitted to, to regulate and preserve the mind in purity and love. Heeding the teach ings of the spirit even in small requisitions, he was often led to speak a word in season to the weary, and to hand a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple to a thirsty fellow-traveller. Living witnesses to the efficacy of his faithful ness still remain, who can acknowledge their faith has been strengthened and increased through his obedience to the manifestations of Truth, by which he ministered to their condition, as one anointed of the Lord.
The unobtrusive manner in which all this was performed, manifested the Christian humility by which he was governed, and reminds us of the Scripture declaration, that grace is given to the humble, and the meek are guided in the paths of judgment. Surely it is good to hope, and quietly wait to see the salvation of God in the land of the living.
