I would sooner walk up to the mouth of a cannon any time than do this.

I dread it because I hate the touch of the whole matter.

I would give almost any thing to be able to say, 'I do not believe Jesus would do anything of the sort.' But I am more and more persuaded that He would.

This is where the suffering comes for me.

It would not hurt me half so much to lose my position or my home.
