THE CONCLUSION. 315

Like a spell this thought would drive far from me all
worldly imaginations, and I could feel only humility for
my own unworthiness, and thankfulness that I had been
blessed with so pious a grandfather. To know him was
a real blessing to me, and it is the hope that hearing of
him may benefit some one, which has led me to dwell
upon him here. But having finished the stories of the
battles which he told us, I need not weary those who
have read thus far by telling them of myself. I shall
now say adieu to those, whoever they may be; and lest
they should think I have praised my grandfather too
highly, I shall speak no more of him, but beseech them
to be followers of no one man, however pious, and

diligently to walk in the footsteps of their Heavenly
Master.

THE END.
