One Fine Woman.
heather woman named Panathea was

cent his representatives to her and Of
fersd her money and jewels to come. but

he might be killed. She waited while
the battle ragged. and when the field was
cleared she shouted his name and
searched for him. and finally found him
wounded and dying. She knelt and
clasped him in her arms, and as they
kissed his lamp of life went out forever.

dead husband and wife, and thanked his
God that he had found in his kingdom

God just as soon as we have men and
women who win be faithful to God and
will not lie and will not sell out TO the
devil"
