<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 2305825, member: 6444&quot;]First old sampler that I have come across and owned, so all help welcome. All writing of Biblical quotations (plus a border), and no flowers or animals, which I haven&#039;t seen before. Does that make this something other than a sampler - could this be part of her religion?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry about the pic quality, this isn&#039;t nearly as hard to read as it appears in my lousy pics. I can get better ones if needed, but I don&#039;t want to take it out of the glass for now. Found at an estate in Massachusetts in the USA. Hopefully Pring is an unusual name that maybe can be traced (simple google didn&#039;t do it for me).</p><p><br /></p><p>Partial Text:</p><p><br /></p><p>CHRISTIAN REMEMBER</p><p>that thou has TO-DAY</p><p>A God to serve and glorify __ I Cor. vi. 20.</p><p>A Soul to save __ Pbil. ii. 12. 12.</p><p>Repentance to seek and perform __ Acts.
