In the year 1854 Brother Kline traveled 6,463 miles.  I feel sure that it is safe to say that every mile he traveled was in the direction of some good object.  Here is something for every one to think on:  Do all the steps of my life tend in the direction of some good object?  Are all my motives pure, sincere, honest, fit for the eyes of the world, and, above all, fit for the eye of God?
