here, support my weakness, & grant my
conduct may bespeak a lowly & devoted
spirit!
faithful Servant in the house of God,
an implicit faith & confidence in him
under all circumstances is requisite,
& my great defect in this, caused me no
small trouble during the first years of
my service. My own active spirit was
too much perceptible in what I did, but
my gracious Savior led me more & more
to the wholesome knowledge of myself,
whereby my office was rendered easier.
As I was employed in publishing the glad ti-
dings of salvation to others, this also was a
means of blessing to my own heart, &
every trace of my testimony being blessed
was a new inducement for deep humili-
ation & gratitude to me. During
Johannes'
I was accepted an
nanted not only with my dear Brn but
with my beloved Savior to be his faithful
servant, & to abide by the word of his
cross which in my childhood already had
captured my heart.
