“So I live, knowing that I am in God’s hands, to be used to
bring others to Him, if He wills by a long life full of work, or to die
tomorrow if He so wills, having nothing worth mentioning. . . . We must do what
we can and leave the rest to Him. . . . My trust is in God, so that it matters
not what I do or where I go.” Edward Wilson*
What faith this man had. This was written just before he
died.
