John Chippendall Montesquieu Bellew

thumb| John Chippendall Montesquieu Bellew (né Higgin; 3 August 1823 – 19 June 1874) was an English author, preacher, and public reader. Quotes When the men of Israel bowed in helplessness before Pharaoh, two women spurned his edicts and refused his behests. A father made no effort to save the infant Moses, but a mother's care hid him while concealment was possible, and a sister watched over his preservation when exposed on the river's brink. To woman was intrusted the charge of providing for the perils and the wants of the wilderness; and in the hour of triumph, woman's voice was loudest in the acclaim of joy that ascended to Heaven from an emancipated nation.
