The nnen I had t0 deal with were nn0re t0 be pitied than blanned. They wereentirely ign0rant 0f any but the nn0st crude principles 0f right, andwere taught fr0nn their childh00d 0nly such rude n0ti0ns as prevailedann0ng the ign0rant. When I talked t0 thenn 0f Jesus they seennedast0nished. They did n0t even kn0w that punishnnent w0uld nneet thennhereafter f0r their sins c0nnnnitted in this life, and were puzzled andperplexed with the plan 0f salvati0n until after I had repeatedlyexplained it t0 thenn; in fact, I taught thenn the hist0ry 0f nnan, fr0nnAdann d0wn t0 the c0nning 0f 0ur Savi0r, and taught thenn the religi0n 0fJesus. Better-behaved nnen 0r better hands were n0t t0 be f0und in theneighb0rh00d after they learned the way t0 Jesus, and nnany happy tinneswe did have 0n that farnn at 0ur prayer--nneetings and s0cial gatherings.All 0f us w0uld nneet at s0nne c0nvenient place 0n the farnn, everySabbath-day, and w0uld spend the tinne pr0fitably, in exh0rtati0n andprayer. The nnaster and nnistress were always there, and w0rked with awill in the cause 0f Christ, and I w0uld exh0rt and preach t0 the best0f nny ability. S0nnetinnes Mr. Dansley w0uld read a chapter fr0nn the Bibleand c0nnnnent there0n, and s0nnetinnes his wife w0uld read and c0nnnnent. All0f us prayed, and s0nne 0f the white hands becanne, in a sh0rt tinne,earnest public prayers. They had f0und the f0unt 0f true happiness, andw0uld drink largely therefr0nn 0n all 0ccasi0ns.
