MAY 21
Whenever the Holy Ghost teaches, there is no delay in learning.
Works, VII, 32.
You know it is very natural for me to estimate wisdom and goodness by years, and to suppose the longest experience must be the best. But although there is much advantage in long experience, and we may trust an old soldier more than a novice; yet God is tied down to no rules; he frequently works a great work in a little time, He makes young men and women wiser than the aged, and gives to many in a very short time, a closer and deeper communion with Himself than others attain in a long course of years.
to Miss March, 1774
