Leadership
463
When God has spoken, my husband has hearkened to His voice; but
to bear the condemnation and reflection of his friends who do not seem
to discriminate has been a great trial. When his brethren shall have
stood under the same circumstances, and borne the responsibilities
that he has borne with as little encouragement and help as he has had,
then they may be able to understand how to sustain, how to comfort,
how to bless, without torturing his feelings by reflections and censures
which he in no way deserves.
