Excerpt from On Two Frontiers Born the same year, taught their elementary schooling by the same wandering teacher, partaking Of their first nachtmaal on the same solemn Sun day, they had been friends from youth. Both loved the quiet and isolation of their native land with its far-flung reaches of virgin soil; they were men who lived and thought close to nature. Both were deeply religious, their knee patches bearing eloquent if mute testimony to their long and fervent prayers. To both, life was a serious business to be wrought out well in silence and communion with the Word. They loved deeply and quietly, but hated wrong and injustice with a hardness that bit deep like iron. In the course Of time they married, as they did other things, thoughtfully, cleanly, but still silently, without demonstration, and life flowed on.
