    Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974
Meditation:

    —2 Timothy 1:10 (NIV)
Quotation:
    [Continued from yesterday]

This result was accomplished by various events after such fashion that a sufficient number of persons were firmly convinced of the truth, and constituted a body of witnesses whose evidence might convince the world and give effect to the Divine will.
