And what shall we tell you of the wonders God showed us
among those poor women? There was no time in which they did not cry,
with tears, 'What shall we do?' 'Woe unto us!' 'We are lost!' When
we asked them to pray in meetings, they prayed as if taught of God.
We wondered at them very much. In one house, we found a woman
beating her head with both hands, crying, 'O my sins! They are so
great! There is no pardon!' We tried to reason with her; but if we
took her hands from her head, she beat her breast. She said, 'You
told me, when you prayed with me the other day, to go to Christ; but
he will not receive me, I am such a sinner.' With difficulty we
quieted her, and told of the great mercy of the Son of David. We
prayed with each woman of the village alone, and they with us,
fervently and in tears.
"In one instance, we heard an old man praying earnestly in the
stable, and his wife in the house. We waited till they had finished,
before we went in, and there we found an old man, perhaps ninety
years old, and his wife, also very aged. We spoke with them of the
lowly Redeemer, and how he was ready to dwell with them, poor as
they were.
