The 14th essay in A Noble Company, volume 8, is Spencer Houghton Cone (1785-1855).

Spencer Cone lived not for his own glory, but for the glory of the One who saved him. He sought to advance Christ’s gospel by every means available, as the record of his life proves. And in this way, his life continues to fulfill the word spoken to his mother when he was a baby: “He shall live to preach Christ and him crucified.” --Matthew Hoskinson
