MAY 17
The more labour, the more blessing.
Letter, 9th October 1779
Woman, remember the faith! In the name of God, set out again, and do the first works … Begin again without delay. The day after you receive this, go and meet a class or a band. Sick or well, go! If you cannot speak a word, go; and God will go with you. You sink under the sin of omission.
to Ann Bolton, 1790
I have been often musing upon this: Why the generality of Christians, even those that really are such, are less zealous and less active for God, when they are middle-aged than they were when they were young.
to Elizabeth Ritchie, 1784
Fight on and conquer!
to Dorothy Furley, 1757
