§7
雅各在忙于改稿。安妮.史密斯姐妹在协助他，这就给了我一点点时间写信。安息日后的这个晚上我在烛光下睁着发疼的眼睛写信，所以请原谅我字写得差。你要有勇气。不要让任何事情使你灰心失望。要记住我们快到家了。（《信函》1851年9号1，3页，致道奇夫妇，1851年12月21日）{2MR248.3}[3]

James is very busy correcting proof sheet. Sister Annie Smith is assisting him, and that gives me a little time to write.

(To James White, Oct., 1860.) {2MR 249.1}[8]

我想让孩子们到乡下短途旅行没有什么害处。你不在时我可以稍微出去一下。威利玩得很开心，舍不得回家。男孩们与以利玩。干了一点活，打了一点猎。这对于他们是极为开心的事。……{2MR249.2}[9]
§20
I thought it might not do the boys any harm to have a little excursion in the country, and I could visit a little and while away the time in your absence. Willie enjoyed himself well.

他（怀雅各）刚刚安睡了，没有疼痛，没有痛苦，就象一个孩子那样，愉快地咽下最后一口气。我感恩不用被迫看着他受痛苦的折磨，让这个凄惨的画面日夜呈现在我眼前。……{2MR249.6}[13]
§28
He just went to sleep; no pain, no suffering, just as pleasant as a child he breathed his last. Oh, how thankful I was that I was not compelled to see him tortured with agony and have this distressing picture before me day and night. . . . {2MR 249.6}[13]

我们星期三晚上八点半到达这里（马萨诸塞州）。这一段旅行比从加利福尼亚州出发的长途旅行更累更乏。路上灰尘多，车辆拥挤不堪，天气又很热。但我勇气百倍。……我为一路上为心灵的平安和与我救主的交通而感恩。在祂的保护下，我知道自己很安全，没有什么可抱怨的。（《信函》1883年24号第1页，致W.C.怀特长老夫妇，1883年8月23日）{2MR250.6}[20]

We arrived here [Massachusetts] at half past eight Wednesday night. This part of the journey was more trying and wearisome to us than the long journey from California.

The Lord is very good to us. Thus far, we have been favored with much fruit from our orchard. . . . The prune trees are loaded, and we have had to buy large quantities of rope to tie up the branches so that they would not break under their burden. . . . {2MR 251.2}[22]

§49
安息日早上，我坐在自己的房间里，思考工作中的困难，心想：我该怎么办呢？一只小鸟跳上了窗台婉转歌唱，使我的心暂时得到了释放。我相信这只鸟是上帝派给我的信使。我决心完全信靠主。我感谢祂一直奇妙地支持我。我要在放下盔甲之前为祂做更多的工作。（《信函》1902年108号，1，2，11页，致N.D.福克海德夫妇，1902年7月14日）{2MR251.4}[24]
§50
I was sitting in my room on Sabbath morning, thinking about the perplexities of the work, and wondering, What shall I do? when a little bird hopped onto the windowsill, and poured forth such a flood of song as set my heart free for a time.

I want to do much more work for Him before I lay off my armor.--Letter 108, 1902, pp. 1, 2, 11. (To Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Faulkhead, July 14, 1902.) {2MR 251.4}[24]

§54
The Lord has wonderfully sustained me. Last Sabbath, before going to the meeting, a weakness came over me, and I felt fearful. But the moment that I stood on my feet before the people, I felt that the everlasting arms were beneath me. . . . Everyone in the tent heard me, though I did not put forth the least effort to make them hear. {2MR 252.1}[26]
§55
上一次我重病以后的一段时间里，我曾经担心我再也不能发声了。我试图在家庭礼拜中祷告，但我发了一两声以后，就发不出来了。我的声音没有了。在很长的时间里，我只能保持沉默。但是主恢复了我的声音。我为这个恩典而感谢不尽。我十分感恩。我知道自己有见证要作。我感谢上帝使我依然为祂作见证。（《信函》1902年150号1，2页，致C.W.欧文，1902年9月22日）{2MR252.2}[27]

For a time after my last severe illness I feared that I should never be able to use my voice again. I tried to pray at family worship, but after I had uttered a word or two, no sound would come. My voice was gone. For a long time I had to keep silent; but the Lord has restored my voice to me, and I cannot be grateful enough to Him for this mercy. I am so thankful. I know that I have a testimony to bear, and I thank God that I can still be His witness. --Letter 150, 1902, pp. 1, 2. (To C. W. Irwin, Sept. 22, 1902.) {2MR 252.2}[27]
§57
我完全忘记了昨天是我的生日，直到乘车外出回来就餐。然后发现金姐妹……邀请了梅.怀特和她的孩子们，埃拉.梅和多尔斯.罗宾逊就餐。我十分忙碌，没有想到这是我的生日。正如斯塔尔姐妹平常所说的，我看到这么大的聚餐时“惊呆”了。餐厅里共摆了两桌。{2MR252.3}[28]
§58
I had entirely forgotten that yesterday was my birthday, until I had returned from my ride just before dinner. Then I found that Sister King . . . invited to dinner, May White and her children, and Ella May and Dores Robinson. I had been so busy that I had not thought of its being my birthday, and I was, as Brother Starr used to say, plumb surprised to find such a large gathering, and two tables set in our dining room. {2MR 252.3}[28]
§59
我们共享了精心准备的餐食，然后进入客厅，一起祷告，唱了几首赞美诗。当我们为上帝待我们众人的恩慈和怜悯而献上衷心的感谢时，主惠然亲近我们。……{2MR252.4}[29]
§60
We partook of a nicely prepared meal, after which we went into the parlor, and engaged in a season of prayer and sang a few hymns. The Lord came graciously near to us as we offered up hearty thanksgiving to God for His goodness and mercy to us all. . . . {2MR 252.4}[29]
§61
英斯姐妹从疗养院送来了美丽的花束，还有另一位从圣赫勒那送来了鲜花。金姐妹送给我一个镀银的小水罐，正是我想要买的那一种。我很高兴没有更多的礼物了，因为我收到这么多礼物时，会觉得应该有所回赠。……{2MR252.5}[30]
§62
Sister Ings sent down a beautiful bouquet from the Sanitarium, and someone else sent flowers from St. Helena. Sister King presented me with a small silverplated water pitcher, just such a one as I had been thinking of purchasing. I was glad that there were not more presents, for when I receive so many things I feel that I must do something in return. . . . {2MR 252.5}[30]
§63
昨天夜里，……我醒来一二次，但直到四点才起床。这是在睡觉时取得的又一次胜利，因为前一夜里我差不多睡了八个小时。为此我十分感谢我在天上的父。（《信函》1905年321号1，2，6页，致J.E.怀特长老夫妇，1905年11月27日）{2MR253.1}[31]
§64
Last night . . . I awoke once or twice in the night but did not get up till four oclock. This was another victory gained in sleeping, for the previous night I had slept nearly eight hours.

我强烈希望只要我的气息尚存，我的智力就依然保持。我非常感恩，我的头脑和平时一样清晰，并能帮助正在进行的工作。{2MR253.2}[32]
§66
One thing I do desire is that as long as I have the breath of my life my mental powers may be preserved. I am very thankful that my mind is as clear as it is, and that I can help as I do in the work that is being done. {2MR 253.2}[32]
§67
当我想到自己在年轻时是多么软弱时，我觉得在我这样的年纪里有充分的理由感谢主的恩慈、怜悯和仁爱。自从我九岁时所遭遇的事故以来，我很少完全摆脱所有的痛苦。但我记不得什么时候比现在更加摆脱痛苦的了。……{2MR253.3}[33]
§68
When I consider how weak I was in my younger days, I feel that at my age I have great reason to be thankful to the Lord for His goodness, His mercy, and His love. Since the accident that happened to me when I was nine years old, I have seldom been perfectly free from all pain. But I do not remember when I have been more free from pain than I am at present. . . . {2MR 253.3}[33]
§69
我信靠我的救赎主，我的救主耶稣基督。我将靠着祂成为一名得胜者。（《文稿》1905年142号1，2页，〈感谢的话〉，1905年11月26日）{2MR253.4}[34]

§71
我有理由感谢上帝慈怜地保守了我的性命，使我在奥克兰和旧金山的重要会议上发挥作用。我感谢祂赐给我力量和自由。我虽然身体软弱，但得蒙支持和大大祝福。大医师一直是我的帮助者。务必将荣耀归于祂的圣名。{2MR253.5}[35]
§72
I have reason to be very thankful to God that He graciously spared my life to act a part in the important meetings in Oakland and San Francisco. I thank Him that He gave me strength and freedom. Although infirmities have been upon me, I have been sustained and greatly blessed. The great Physician has been my Helper, and to His name be the glory. {2MR 253.5}[35]
§73
我年已八十，依然能上下楼梯自如，象我的任何工人一样。早上我自己烧火，能搬起大块的柴火。……{2MR254.1}[36]

§81
我非常感谢主赐给我特权作祂的使者，把宝贵的真理传给他人。（《信函》1911年80号，1，2页，致S.N.赫斯格，1911年10月6日）{2MR254.5}[40]

Dec. 12. I have just picked up this unfinished letter and will add a little, and then send it to you. I am still doing well healthwise. We are having a great blessing in the plenteous rain that has been falling at intervals for about a month. This rain was greatly needed.
