"Biographical," The Gospel Messenger vol. 6 no. 6 (Jun. 1884)
My mother was left in very limited circumstances, with four little boys, one older and two younger than myself, to battle with life’s trials and hardships, which now devolved on her; and notwithstanding the many disadvantages and embarrassments under which she was compelled to labor she did her whole duty, and did it nobly, and succeeded surprisingly well. The labor on the farm was performed by my older brother and myself for some time, consequently we had but little chance to go to school; my education, therefore, is quite limited, the most of what I have was obtained at home on rainy days and nights, studying by fire light.
Mother was ever mindful and watchful of the morals of her children. Often she lectured us earnestly upon this subject, sometimes introducing the subject by reading a chapter in the Bible. It is to those lectures, that she so frequently gave her children, that I attribute, by God’s grace, my first impressions in regard to my eternal welfare. |
