With the committee there is one strong conviction, and it is this, that their work, which commenced in obscurity and feebleness, by three men without name, influence, or money, but who were strong in faith, prayer, and holy zeal-that the effort though now exceeding large-can only be continued and extended in the same spirit of simple trust and devotion, glory being rendered in the Church by Jesus Christ, unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
...The same plea of poverty was urged by three drunken-looking women who stood at the next door; upon his telling them that he had no money to give, but that he hoped to make them happy with the true riches, they shut the door in his face; and stepping out he breathed the refreshing air of the Court.
...she replied, I brings up little dogs for fancy men, and takes in sick uns to nurse, and I earns my money I can tell you: why that ere bull-dog has the mange, and I have to rub him in with doctors stuff, and if I didnt muzzle him, and pull his chain tight to the floor, hed tear me to pieces; and then I have to get up in the night to feed the puppies with milk.
...When told that at his age the great matter was not his business, but his fitness for a better world, he laughed and said, All I want is to die easy, so I moves the things, and puts my mattress the right way, as we never knows what may be, and they says as its hard to die the cross-way of boards.
...An attempt to speak to them upon the Gospel message provoked[17] an outburst of low abuse from them both: the woman, who was evidently from the Emerald Isle, followed the visitor to the door, giving a long sweep with her broom; and then flourishing it over his head as he stepped into the Court, exclaimed, Och, and sure and thats the way I sweep out rubbish!
