  • TO THE MEMORY OF FRANCIS GEORGE SHAW

    “Yea,” saith the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.”


    Then shall they also answer him, saying, “Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?”

    Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

    Matthew, 25:44-45
