The Baptist Watchmen vol.4 no.47 (Mar. 1873)
I HAVE CONCLUDED TO WRITE YOU a few lines to let
you know how I am getting on. I have such a complication of
diseases I have been confined to my room for three months, the
weather continuing cold and disagreeable, my old disease,
(Asthma) is as bad as it has ever been. I have not tried to preach
since the last of November. I don’t know when I will again, if
ever. I have tried to bear my affliction with christian fortitude
and resignation, and sometimes I think I do; at other times I
become impatient and wonder why I am made to suffer so
much, yet knowing that He works all things together for good
to them that love God, and that the Lord knoweth how to deliver
the Godly out of temptation, and reserve the unjust to the
day of judgment to be punished, I try to be resigned. |
