When Elias Harrison, great-grandfather of lock wood lyon doty, had served through an apprentice ship to his Uncle Gorsem, he bought a Bible and Westminister confession of faith. This record was made, in a manuscript book,-by John Harrison, son ~of Elias, who closes an account of trials and hard ships passed, by the following words: I ought to thank, before mortal man, my Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, my dear Redeemer, for their loving kindness and tender mercies through sickness, and in preserving me from death.
Words are impressions for the future, and the children, who have read that old manuscript, repro duce those impressions in life after life. When Lock wood L. Doty read those words in his grandfather, John Harrison's book, they became more than passing impressions on his brain. They made lines of thought 'in his mind; guide-lines on the way he walked as a man and a Christian.
