Gathering Jewels / The Secret of a Beautiful Life: In Memoriam of Mr. & Mrs. James Knowles. Selected from Their Diaries.

A memorial volume collects selections from the diaries and letters of a married couple, offering biographical sketches, correspondence, scripture passages, accounts of final hours, and a detailed record of the wife's long missionary and Bible-reading labors among the urban poor. It intersperses testimonies, anecdotes of conversions and answered prayer, practical reflections on faith and charity, and scenes of daily evangelistic work, illustrating devotional habits, pastoral counsel, and the couple's mutual devotion. The book closes with testimonials, extracts from diaries, and reflections intended to encourage readers in prayer, Scripture circulation, and personal service.
