Daniel instructed him and warned him. He told him of heaven and hell; showed him that unless he repented and believed in Christ he could not be saved. Sometimes Runga was attentive, and his case seemed hopeful, but at other times it was quite the reverse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
