17/18 The fault must have been all in myself; for there was nothing in you but what seemed to evidence a Christian spirit, temper, and disposition. I very much wished for an opportunity to converse with you. I feel very thankful to God that you do take up the cross, and despise the shame: if you are found faithful, you will soon sit down with him in glory. I should mention that your manner of reading the service on that day had a considerable effect on the hearers. I expect in a few days to return home to my parents' house. |
