I, Thy will is best. Life is of no account to me, so far as its pleasures are concerned. Allits riches, its honors, are nothing compared with usefulness. I do not crave them; theycannot satisfy or fill the aching void which unperformed duty leaves to me. I wouldnot live uselessly, to be a mere blot or blank in life. And though it seems a martyr’sdeath to die thus, I am resigned, if that is God’s will.“I had said to Sister Thompson the day previous, ‘Were I at Brother White’s, Imight be prayed for, and healed.’ She inquired if we could send for you and BrotherAndrews; but that seemed impracticable, as I could not, in all probability, live till youarrived. I knew that the Lord by His mighty power and with His potent arm could healme here, were it best. To Him I felt safe in referring it. I knew He could send an angelto resist him that hath the power of death, that is, the devil, and felt sure He would,if best. I knew, also, that He could suggest measures, were they necessary, for myrecovery, and I felt sure He would. I soon was better, and able to sleep some.“Thus you see I am still a spared monument of God’s mercy and faithfulness inafflicting His children. He doth not willingly afflict nor grieve the children of men; butsometimes trials are needed as a discipline, to wean us from earth—And bid us seek substantial blissBeyond a fleeting world like this.“Now I can say with the poet:673
