Source-grounded excerpt

it all ended in threats, and by-and-bye they gladly acquiesced in the marriage. During 1865-6, we had many cheering tokens of the power of Divine truth. One youth, named David, died, and he evidently was a Christian. My poor friend, Teenminne, continued to hold her faith and love in the Lord Jesus.
