The Roll-Call of the Illustrious Dead
Hebrews 11:1-2
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.…


Auvergne, a Breton warrior, called Grenadier of France, died fighting for his country. As a memorial, his comrades decided that his name should still stand on the rolls. It was regularly called, and a comrade answered for him, "Dead on the field." So is Hebrews 11., a roll-call of the victorious dead, a regimental register of God's heroes.
