GATHERINGS

FROM AN EVENTFUL LIFE

BY

CLAY MACCAULEY

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: but when I became a man,

And now abideth Faith, Hope, Love, these three:
Faith is the substance of things hoped for;
but the greatest of the three is Love.

To You

TO WHOM THIS PRESENT COMES,

MY GREETING.

A year ago, having crossed the mark "Three-score and Ten," naturally I thought much of the past. Many recollections were renewed: some of them fraught with merely personal importance; some with larger and more significant moment.

Along with these recollections came the wish that you, with others who are genuinely interested, should know more fully of a few of the decisive happenings in my career.

Without near relatives now, or any associate sufficiently informed to speak adequately for me, only I can tell of what I wish you to

know.
