I walked two miles and a half every Sabbath, and sometimes through the rain. If it rained hard while we were there, we would have to get in one corner of the room to keep dry. We should be real earnest if we would accomplish much good. I did everything that was in my power, and felt that the Lord was with me and blessed my efforts.
