- There was a man on a Hudson River boat to whom a tract was offered. With indignation he tore it up and threw it overboard. But one fragment lodged on his coat-sleeve ; and he saw on it the word “eternity” and he found no peace until he was prepared for that great future.
“The Tabernacle Pulpit / Dr. Talmage’s sermon preached last Sunday in the Brooklyn Tabernacle” / 69
- upon which the passing of centuries seem to make no special impress. It is a fragment of the Orient amid the surrounding influences
“The Family and Home Circle / Venice, the Beautiful!” / 254
- ...it corresponded exactly. That it was a part of the identical newspaper was evident from the printing on both. A column had been divided lengthwise by the rent and the half-lines on the fragment found in the pouch completed exactly the half-lines on the newspaper found near the body. One of Dr. Talmage’s sermons was printed on that page and when the two pieces were joined, these words, which in the circumstances had a new significance, were read : “Who watched you last night? Who has been good to you all your life ?”

Marion Harland, “In Palestine” / 619
- When I was walking along the road to the cemetery, which is about a mile east of town, I saw some paper caught in a scorched bush on the right hand of the road. At my request a boy stepped out and brought it to me. It proved to be part of a copv of The Christian Herald... Though charred and burned around the edges, the fragment is still very legible.
Our Missionary at Hinckley / “Rev. G. W. Sharp tells the story of his relief tour in the fire-swept valley — Pastor Knudsen's heroism — A region of desolation may bloom again.” / 630
- There was no catastrophe. The encroachments of the sea gradually undermined temples, palaces, and buildings. The See had long since been removed to Norwich, and one by one the churches disappeared. A fragment of St. Nicholas was standing till 1740, when it also crumbled away. There may be more striking memorials of the ravages of the sea in other parts of the world, but so complete a swallowing up of an opulent and royal city is unique in historical records.
“A submerged City” / 656
- It is a time-stained stone built into the wall of a filthy cross-street, a round, common-looking fragment, with a hole in it, an aperture enlarged and discolored by the kisses of devotees. The relic is believed by others besides Mrs. Sharpe to be “the stone that would have cried out...”
Marion Harland, “In Palestine” / 712
- In this fragment of inspired history, we see a miracle.
