Page 21 “ Having now the two fold object in view of 1.accustoming myself to endure hardness, and 2.of economizing in order to be able more largely to assist those among whom I spent a good deal of time laboring in the gospel, I soon found that I could live upon very much less than I had previously thought possible.

to flow from him, and in the practical things of life a new peace possessed him. Troubles did not worry him as before. He cast everything on God in a new way, and gave more time to prayer.

Instead of working, late at night, he began to go to bed earlier, rising at 5 A.M to give time to Bible study and prayer (often two hours) before the work of the day began.” summary
