The Life And Testimony Of John Jeffries
He was a good old warrior, being called to fight under Christ's banner over half a century against "the world, the flesh, and the devil," with whose delusive joys, corruptions, and devices he was not unacquainted. He was of very poor and illegitimate birth. His mother, dying while he was young, left him in charge of his grandmother who cared but little about poor John. He grew up, not knowing how to read or write, for he was obliged to earn his living when only 7 years old.
