Sunday, 24, was a useful day to my soul. I found more than once trouble and heaviness;
but I called upon the name of the Lord; and He gave me a clear, full approbation of His way,
and a calm, thankful acquiescence in His will.
I cannot but stand amazed at the goodness of God. Others are most assaulted on the weak side of their soul; but with me it is quite otherwise; if I have any strength at all (and I have none but what I have received), it is in forgiving injuries; and on this very side am I assaulted more frequently than on any other. Yet leave me not here one hour to myself, or I shall betray myself and Thee!
In the remaining part of this (November) and in the following month, I prepared the rest of the books for the “Christian Library”; a work by which I have lost about two hundred pounds. Perhaps the next generation may know now the value of it.
