Eiffel Tower
Some time ago I discovered that the Chief Engineer engaged in the structural concept and form of the Eiffel Tower was a brother in Assembly fellowship: Maurice Koechlin.
He and his wife Emma were in life-long fellowship with "Brethren commonly so called."
The symbol of Paris though named after Gustave Eiffel owes more to the talents of brother Koechlin. Maurice was honoured becoming an "Officer of the Legion d'Honneur.
But what has most intrigued me is the how Jean and Maurice Koechlin are related; I have no doubt that they were "family" as both were born in the same area of France, and both met with "Brethren." Further than that I have not discovered.
Jean was the author of "Chaque Jour les Ecritures" a series of "notes" written in order to aid young believers in a consecutive reading of the whole Bible over a period of five years. These "notes" are far more profound and spiritually beneficial to ones' soul than to be limited to those young in the faith. I have been reading them every day for decades and have been richly rewarded and edified thereby. I owe Jean Koechlin a huge debt of gratitude and highly recommend his labour of love to you.
