Just in the niche he was ordained to fill"

DEDICATION.

HIS little book,-probably the last effort of my pen,-I dedicate to the beloved memory of those who always rejoiced in the success of my handiwork.

May they who read these pages, and she who has written them, be followers of them who, through faith and patience, do now inherit the Promises!

CECILIA LUCY BRIGHTWELL.

NORWICH,
