Encouragement Quote by Sam Wellman
““By the beginning of May he was so disturbed by Dolly’s constant unhappiness, often goaded into great outbursts of complaining by unthinking Kitty, he wrote: I have none of those helps and encouragements from my family that many have - they are rather enemies to the work that I have undertaken but though I find it extremely difficult to know how to act with propriety, and sometimes perhaps act indiscreetly, yet I find that support in God which I can find no where else, and perhaps these trials are designed to put me upon trusting and seeking happiness from the Lord alone.[15]””
