by and by one of our boys went away. he was not heard of for a long time. at last he turned up as apprentice engineer or "striker" on a steamboat. this thing shook the bottom out of all my sunday-school teachings. that boy had been notoriously worldly, and i just the reverse; yet he was exalted to this eminence, and i left in obscurity and misery.
