While looking in the Bible for a verse for Willie to commit to memory to repeat in the Sabbath school, this scripture arrested my attention: “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.” I could but weep over these words, they seemed so appropriate. The whole burden upon my mind was for my husband and the church in Wisconsin. My husband did realize the blessing of God while in Wisconsin. The Lord was to him a stronghold in time of trouble and sustained him by His free Spirit while he bore a decided testimony against the wild fanaticism there. {1T 245.1}

Da jeg så i bibelen efter et vers til Willie, til at lære og gengive i sabbatsskolen, fangede dette skriftsted min opmærksomhed: »Herren er god, et værn på trængselens dag; han kender den, som lider på ham.« Jeg kunne kun græde over disse ord, de faldt så passende. Hele byrden på mit sind var for min mand og menigheden i Wisconsin. Min mand erkendte Guds velsignelse medens han var i Wisconsin. Herren var en fæstning for ham i trængselstiden og støttede ham med sin frie ånd da han frembar et bestemt vidnesbyrd mod den vilde fanatisme der var.
