Lend me yours, won't you, Sarah, until I settle this question of the call ?" "No, sir, if you can't settle a plain question like this with all your own brains you couldn't do any better with the addition of the little I have." "Then do you really think, do you, Sarah, that I ought to accept this as the leading of the Spirit of God, and follow without hesitation."

Surely you have shown your willingness and your courage and your sacrifice by your work here.
But your methods are distasteful, and your preaching has so far roused only antagonism.
Oh, I dread the thought of this life for you another day.
It looks to me like a suicidal policy, with nothing to show for it when you have gone through with it." Philip spread the letter out on the couch and his face grew more and more thoughtful as he gazed into the face of his wife, and his mind went over the ground of his church experience.
