Book excerpt: Excerpt from Onesimus: Memoirs of a Disciple of St. Paul IT was in the Spring, as I remember, of the fifth year of the Emperor Claudius that I first saw the Holy Apostle, whom I saw not again till many years had passed away and though I was at that time but a child of ten years or thereabouts, yet every circumstance of it is imprinted upon my memory. It was the cool of the evening, and I was without the wall, hard by the Iconian gate, on one of the smaller hills that look down upon the town, a little to the north of the Iconian road. Hermas, our herdsman, was playing upon his pipe some song to the god Pan, and the goats were gambolling around him. But I - being wholly taken up with teach ing a little kid to dance to the sound of the music paid no heed to the chidings of our nurse trophime, who would have had me go back with her to the city because it was now near sun-down. SO lifting up her eyes and seeing some dromedaries and a dust on the Iconian road, Look, dear child, said she, yonder come mer chants from Iconinm 3 if, therefore, thou wilt go with me without delay, thou wilt see their stores of pretty things, and perchance Ammiane will buy thee somewhat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art thou a slave, as I was? Or an orphan, as I was? Or wanderest thou still, as I long wandered, in the wilderness of doubt and sin? Then for thee is written this story of one that was made free in Christ, and adopted to be the child of God, and in the end brought safe out of the deep darkness of Satan into the Light of the Eternal Truth. THE FIRST BOOK. � 1. OF MY CHILDHOOD. In the last year of the Emperor Tiberius I and my twin-brother Chrestus were found lying in one cradle, exposed with a great number of other babes upon the steps of the temple of Asclepius, in Pergamus, a city of Bithynia. Sign or token of our parents, whether they were free-born or slave, there was none; but only a little silver seal hung round my neck, and on the seal these words in Greek characters, I LOVE THEE, and on my brother Chrestus another of the same fashion, bearing the inscription, TRUST ME. Many a time during the days of my wanderings have I spoken reproachfully in my heart, saying that our parents gave us small cause for trust, and that it was poor love to send out into the rough world two innocent babes with no other equipment against evil than these slight toys. But the hand of the Lord was in it, to turn this evil into good in the end.

Book excerpt: Paul the Apostle, commonly known as Saint Paul, and also known by his native name Saul of Tarsuswas an apostle (though not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of the Christ to the first century world.. Edwin Abbott Abbott (20 December 1838 - 12 October 1926) was an English schoolmaster and theologian, best known as the author of the novella Flatland (1884).Edwin Abbott Abbott was the eldest son of Edwin Abbott (1808-1882), headmaster of the Philological School, Marylebone, and his wife, Jane Abbott (1806-1882). His parents were first cousins. He was educated at the City of London School and at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took the highest honours in classics, mathematics and theology, and became a fellow of his college. In particular, he was 1st Smith's prizeman in 1861.[This seems to be an error by Venn: Colby's preface to Abbott's Flatland states that Abbott was 7th Senior Optime, Senior Classic and 1st Chancellor's Medallist in 1861; William Steadman Aldis was 1st Smith's Prizeman in 1861.] In 1862 he took orders. After holding masterships at King Edward's School, Birmingham, he succeeded G. F. Mortimer as headmaster of the City of London School in 1865 at the early age of twenty-six. Here he oversaw the education of future Prime Minister H. H. Asquith. He was Hulsean lecturer in 1876. He retired in 1889, and devoted himself to literary and theological pursuits.

But the hand of the Lord was in it, to turn this evil into good in the end.Ammiane the wife of Menneas was the name of our new mother. Her own son Ammias was butlately dead; and that which drew her kind heart to us more than to any other among so large amultitude of poor babes there pitifully lying on the temple steps, was that in my brother Chrestusshe seemed to discern a likeness to her lost one.Menneas took us, together with Ammiane, to his house in Lystra, a city of Lycaonia, where was thebetter part of his estate; and soon afterwards he died. But his widow the good Ammiane, to whomold Menneas had left all his possessions, treated us as if we had been her own children, and taughtus to call her mother; and we had no thought but she was our mother indeed. Yet as there had beenno formal adoption of us according to law, we were still in the eyes of the law not free, but slaves;for so runs the law, that whosoever is exposed as a child and saved and reared, becomes the slave ofthem that rear him. For our enfranchisement had been first delayed, and then forgotten in thesickness and death of Menneas; and by that time we were so established in the household that nonequestioned but we had been enfranchised, and all thought of it was laid aside. Therefore, accordingto the law we were still Ammiane's slaves, and not her sons, and in danger to be sold whenever ourdear foster-mother might die. But of all this neither I nor my brother Chrestus knew anything; butwe rejoiced in the love of her whom we called mother; and all the household loved us for her sake, and some for our own. And so the days rolled on in happiness till I had come to my tenth ye
