Each person has their own chapter. John Naas has 11 pages of text and a page
with a picture of his German signature and a picture of the River Eder near
Schwarzenau. Then there is a page of questions for review of the chapter.
John S. Flory says that it is presented to the young people of the church so
they can more fully appreciate these founding fathers of the church.
