We remained with this people six weeks. I spoke to them twenty-five times, and my husband twelve times. As our labors with this church progressed, individual cases began to open before me, and I commenced to write out testimonies for them, amounting in all to one hundred pages. Then commenced labor for these persons as they came to Brother Root’s, where we were stopping, and with some of them at their homes, but more especially in meetings at the house of worship. In this kind of labor I found that my husband was a great help. His long experience in this kind of work, as he had labored with me in the past, had qualified him for it. And now that he entered upon it again he seemed to manifest all that clearness of thought, good judgment, and faithfulness in dealing with the erring, of former days. In fact, no other two of our ministers could have rendered me the assistance that he did. {1T 571.1} | |

Vi blev hos de folk i seks uger. Jeg talte femogtyve gange til dem og min mand tolv gange. Idet vort arbejde med denne menighed skred frem, begyndte de forskellige sager at vise sig for mig og jeg begyndte vidnesbyrd for dem, sammenlagt er det ethundrede sider. Så begyndte arbejdet for disse personer idet disse kom til bror Root's, hvor vi opholdt os og for nogle af personerne, i deres egne hjem og især møderne i menighedshuset. I dette arbejde fandt jeg ud af at min mand var en stor hjælp. Hans store erfaring i dette arbejde, da han havde arbejdet sammen med mig tidligere, havde kvalificeret ham til det. Og nu hvor han kom ind i det igen, lod han til at vise klarhed i tankerne, god dømmekraft og redelig med at behandle de fejlende, som i de tidligere dage. Faktisk kunne to af vore prædikanter ikke give denne samme hjælp som han. |
