JANUARY 13

If we see God in all things, and do all for Him, then all things are easy.
Letter, 28th May, 1757


Go and see the poor and sick in their own poor little hovels. Take up your cross, woman! Remember the faith! Jesus went before you and will go with you. Put off the gentlewoman; you bear a higher character.

. . . . . . .

I have found some of the uneducated poor who have exquisite taste and sentiment; and many, very many, of the rich who have scarcely any at all.

. . . . . . .

Beware of indulging gloomy thoughts; they are the bane of thankfulness. You are encompassed with ten thousand mercies; let these sink you into humble thankfulness.
to Miss March, 1775-7
