Testimony for the Church, Number 14 (1868)
You listen to a discourse--the truth affects you, and the nobler
powers of your mind arouse to control your actions. You see how little
you have sacrificed for God, how closely self has been cherished, and
you feel swayed to the right by the influence of the truth you are
under; but when you pass from under this sacred, sanctifying, soothing
influence, you do not possess the sanctifying influence in your own
heart, and you soon fall into the same barren, ungenial state of
feelings. Work, work--you must work--brain, bone, and muscle taxed to
the utmost to get means which your imagination tells you must be
obtained, or want and starvation will be your lot. This is a delusion
of Satan, one of his wily snares to lead you to perdition. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof. But you make for yourself a
time of
trouble
beforehand.
