Excerpt from Autobiography of David Russell, Boston Boy and True American: This book is addressed to all the young men of America. I would exhort them to follow in my foot steps, by putting their trust in One who, under all the different circumstances of my eventful life, I have found able to carry me through all difficulties and dangers, and bring me out more than conqueror. My hope has been not in an arm of flesh, but in One who is able to save to the uttermost. He has been my pilot and deliverer in adversity and prosperity; by faith and prayer I found him to stick closer than a brother, for he has delivered me out of six troubles, and in the seventh he will never forsake. Young men, let me exhort you, whatsoever you do, or whatever circumstances of life you are placed in, whether it be on land or sea, whether it be in prosperity or adversity, whether it be in good report or bad report, whether it be in honor or dishonor, whether it be in sickness or in health, to choose the same pilot and deliverer whom I chose in the days of my youth, and by faith and prayer he will bring you out more than conquerors.
