Excerpt from James Tift Champlin: A Memorial Two thoughts (2 Tim iv. 7) were present with the Apostle Paul as he came to the close Of his long and eventful career; first, that his had been a well-spent life, and second, that 'throughout his Christian course he had never relinquished his personal faith in Christ. All along the ages, from the time Of the apostle, there have been others, disciples of the same Master, who could say, I have completed the glori ous contest, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. They are the men who with an untiring energy have labored as did Paul for the higher interests Of man kind; and who like him, in all their Christian way, have proved faithful to their divine Savior and Lord. Of such was James Tift Champlin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
