The word given me was, “Take this young man as your son. Your mother’s heart must adopt him as one who will need your sympathy and watchcare. His soul is precious. He may be imbued with ‘My Spirit’ and enabled to accomplish a work of soul saving. You can be instrumental in helping him. Do not turn from him because he has weak points in his character.”—Letter 115, 1902. (PM 94.1) MC VC
