Evidence: | 'We have been favoured the last two days to have all our fifteen children around us ... After dinner we walked a little and then had tea, and after tea a number of the children sang in company some of our old Earlham songs and ended with two hymns. We were then silent and read the 103rd Psalm, and I spoke earnestly to my children impressing them with the importance, now that most of them were no longer under our restraint, that they should be conformed to the will of God' |
