hearts. When they had sung, my master
would kneel and offer up a humble prayer to God. These exercises
caused harmony to prevail throughout a numerous family. I observed
also that although the inhabitants of the island did not relish my
master's piety, yet he every day obtained more and more of their
respect, as his piety increased.
I have lived many years, and have seen all those children grown up (I
believe through my instructions) in the fear of the Lord. I was by the
bed-side of their parents when the messenger Death came to call them
away. I spoke to them of the joys of heaven, and of its inhabitants,
who sing praise to the Lamb, and cease not day nor night. They cried,
"Lord Jesus, come quickly," and ascended to glory.
I have always been a faithful friend to all who have sought
acquaintance with me. I will be faithful to thee, reader! I will show
thee the only path that leads through this world to heaven. Follow my
instructions, and you will arrive there in safety.
