Because of Stephen
“A great plan had come to her, born of anxiety and prayer. At first she thought it seemed preposterous, impossible! She drew back, caught her breath, and prayed again; but over and over the idea recurred to her.
It was this. Perhaps God had sent her out here into these wilds to witness for Himself, yes, even among rough men like the two that had taken dinner with them that first day after her arrival.
Could she do it? Could she make that proposed Sunday gathering into a sanctified, holy ...thing? She, who had never spoken in public in her life, except to read a low-voiced essay from a school platform? She, who had always shrunk from doing anything publicly, and let honors pass her rather than make herself prominent? She who had never been taught in ways of Christian work, other than by her own loving heart?
Could she do it?
And how could she do it?
The utmost she knew about Christian work was learned in the class of boys she had taught in Sunday school at home.MoreLess
