Kenneth Scott Latourette, Beyond the ranges: an autobiography (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1967), 72. And from p. 155, the last, itself an expansion upon what he says about his ever-thereafter growing confidence in "the Evangelical faith in which [he] had been reared", a confidence clearly rooted in life-long practice, way back on pp. 73-74:
The emeritus years passed quickly. They were the richest and happiest of my life. That was . . . chiefly because of growing friendship with God. Wondering and grateful appreciation of the Good News grew. . . . What lies beyond this present life I cannot know in detail, but I know Who is there and am convinced that through God's grace, that love which I do not and cannot deserve, eternal life has begun here and now, and eternal life is to know God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
