cannot stop to correct them. A man might run around, like a kitten
after its tail, all his life, if he were going around explaining all
his expressions and all the things he had written. Let them go. They
will correct themselves. The average and general influence of a man's
teaching will be more mighty than any single misconception, or
misapprehension through misconception.

"There is a deep enjoyment in having devoted yourself, soul and body,
to the welfare of your fellowmen, so that you have no thought and no
care but for them. There is a pleasure in that which is never touched
by any ordinary experiences in human life. It is the highest. I look
back to my missionary days as being transcendently the happiest period
of my life. The sweetest pleasures I have ever known are not those
that I have now, but those that I remember, when I was unknown, in an
unknown land, among a scattered people, mostly poor, and to whom I had
to go and preach the Gospel, man by man, house by house, gathering them
on Sundays, a few--twenty, fifty, or a hundred as the case might
be--and preaching the Gospel more formally to them as they were able to
bear it."
