§3
亲爱的丈夫：……我一直在写，超过平常，这对我来说太多了。我不能也不可写作超过半天，但我继续越界并且为此付上代价。我昼夜想着我的题目。我在祷告时很有信心。主听我的祷告，我也相信祂的救恩。我倚靠祂的力量。靠着祂的力量，我要完成我的作品。我以毫不动摇的信心坚定地依靠祂的手。我们在工作中很开心，这目前就是我们的世界。……{MR728 17.1}[1]
§4
Dear Husband,I have been writing more than usual, which was too much for me. I cannot and must not write more than half a day, but I continue to step over the bounds and pay for it. My mind is on my subjects day and night. I have strong confidence in prayer. The Lord hears me and I believe in His salvation. In His strength I trust. In His strength I shall complete my writings. I cling firmly to His hand with unwavering confidence. We are happy in our work and this is our world for the present....?{MR728 17.1}[1]
