“It is rainy today so that I do not mow, or I should not write. I mow five days for unbelievers, and Sunday for believers, and rest on the seventh day, therefore I have but very little time to write. God gives me strength to labor hard all day. Praise the Lord! I hope to get a few dollars to use in his cause.”

I rejoice today that ease, pleasure and comfort in this life, are a sacrifice on the altar of my faith and hope, amen.
