EUTYCHUS

What a privilege was hisin that crowded upper room so long ago,where many lamps proclaimed a burst of lightupon an ancient world's near–darkened thought!From his window perch, he listenedwhile one of the gifted speakers of all timewarmed to the eternal theme of Life and Love and Truth,presented by Christ Jesus, our Exemplar.
