Featured Story - Helen Ewan: Part 2

Recap from part 1: Helen Ewan was on ordinary, common Christian, and in another, she was an extraordinary one. Her brief, Christian life of eight years was filled with the fragrance and glory of God.

This is true for both the youth as well as the adults. There is a saying spoken by old men of God which says, “You can always tell the standards and principles of a church by looking at their youth”.
