    Did Other People Take Care Of Them Also?

    Your parents have to travel from place to place among the people of God to try to do them good and save souls. And the Lord has inclined Sisters Jenny [Frazier] and Martha [Byington] to come into our family, to feel an interest for you, to love you, and to care for you, that we may leave home feeling free.LASW 66.2

    They are not related to you. They make a sacrifice. What for? Because they love you. When you grieve them you grieve your parents also.LASW 66.3

    If you try to do right, you will make them happy, and they will feel it a pleasure to deny themselves to have a care for you. When asked to do anything, do not say, “Wait a minute, till I do this.” It is unpleasant to repeat to you the same things.LASW 66.4

    Now, dear children, obey because you love to, not because you are driven to. I shall have confidence that you will do as I wish you to. I shall confide in your honor, your manliness. 26An Appeal to the Youth, 42-44.LASW 66.5

    I know you will miss us and it will be a sacrifice for you to be deprived of our society [company] so long, but I can think of no place, dear Willie, where I could feel as free and well about you as the place where you are. I know Brother and Sister Maynard will be a good father and mother to you in our absence and I feel very grateful for their kindness and care which has ever been exercised to us and you. May the Lord bless that dear family and you. 27Letter 13, 1867LASW 67.1

    We expect you are beginning to feel somewhat like an orphan. We hope you are cheerful and happy. We would be glad to be at our own quiet home and rest, but it seems there is but little opportunity for rest allowed us. God has sustained us thus far, and we trust Him still. He will give strength according to our day. And, Willie, you are deprived of our society very much, and if you bear this deprivation on your part like a Christian you will be blessed. Love the dear Saviour with all your heart and be daily learning in the school of Christ. You can know for yourself that your ways please God. You can consecrate yourself to your Saviour, and can be daily exerting an influence which will be saving on those with whom you associate. 28Letter 12, 1867.LASW 67.2
