From that far isle, Britannic, at the ends

of earth, our brother, Joseph, recommends

this book of John's (among brethren and friends,

he is distinguished).  In this concise scroll

are truths that will inspire the Christian's soul

amid this world's chaos, distress, and strife.

John has compiled these words from Jesus' life:

divine, yet clad in our humanity,

He came unto His own in Galilee,

preaching---teaching---healing in ministry;

then to the cross to die in victory,

vanguishing death and sin that have, long, cursed

our kind; then raised to life.  Now Joseph sends

a crate of copies and requests that we

distribute them, widely.   We shall not fail.

John's testimony quenches spiritual thirst

for more about Jesus.  This book, in full---

surrounded by the lost world's enmity---

is like the sanctum of a mystery,

and therein new refreshment from a grail.
