“ 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.

Butter, milk, and other such luxuries I soon ceased to use; and I found that by

living mainly on oatmeal and rice, with occasional variations, a very

small sum was sufficient for my needs. In this way I had more than two-

thirds of my income available for other purposes;

and my experience was that the

less I spent on myself

and the more I gave away,

the fuller of happiness and blessings did my soul become.

Unspeakable joy all the day long and every day, was my happy

experience.

God, even my God was living, bright reality; and all I had to do was

joyful service”

It was resting in Jesus now, and

letting Him do the work – which

makes all the difference.

Whenever he spoke in meeting

after that, a new power seemed

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
