He has once in a while gone to a meeting on crutches and then, by the force of will, and inspired by what he is to do, has stood before his audience or congregation, a man full of strength and fire and life. HE HAS ONCE A WHILE GONE TO A MEETING UNCONCIOUS AND THEN BY THE FORCE OF WILL BE INSPIRED BY WHAT HE IS ABOUT TO DO STOOD THERE BEFORE HIS AUDIENCE AND CONGREGATION A MAN FULL OF STRENGTH AND FIRE AND LIFE
 these later years he is showing his strength and enthusiasm in a positively noble way. He has for years been a keen sufferer from rheumatism and neuritis, but he has never permitted this to interfere with his work or plans. He makes little of his sufferings, and when he slowly makes his way, bent and twisted, downstairs, he does not want to be noticed. “I’m all right,” he will say if any one offers to help, and at such a time comes his nearest approach to impatience. He wants his suffering ignored. Strength has always been to him so precious a belonging that he will not relinquish it while he lives. “I’m all right!” And he makes himself believe that he is all right even though the pain becomes so severe as to demand massage. And he will still, even when suffering, talk calmly, or write his letters, or attend to whatever matters come before him. It is the Spartan boy hiding the pain of the gnawing fox. And he never has let pain interfere with his presence on the pulpit or the platform. RY ENTHUSIASM ALWAYS TOO IN THESE LATER YEARS HE IS SHOWING HIS STRENGTH AND ENTHUSIASM IN A POSITIVELY NOBLE WAY HE HAS FOR YEARS BEEN A KEEN SUFFERER FROM RHEUMATISM AND NEUROTIS BUT HE HAS HAS NEVER PERMITTED IT TO INTERFERE WITH HIS WORK OR PLANS HE MAKES LITTLE OF HIS SUFFERING AND WHEN HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY BENT AND TWISTED DOWNSTAIRS HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE NOTICED I AM ALL RIGHT HE WILL SAY IF ANYONE OFFERS TO HELP AND AT SUCH A TIME COMES HIS NEAREST APPROACH TO IMPATIENCE HE WANTS HIS SUFFERING IGNORED STRENGTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO HIM SO PRECIOUS A BELONGING HE WILL NOT RELINQUISH IT WHILE HE LIVES I AM ALL RIGHT AND HE MAKES HIMSELF BELIEVE THAT HE IS ALL RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE PAIN BECOMES SO SEVERE AS TO DEMAND MASSAGE AND HE WILL STILL EVEN WHEN SUFFERING TALK CALMLY OR WRITE HIS LETTERS OR ATTEND TO WHATEVER MATTERS COME BEFORE HIM IT IS THE SPARTAN BOY HIDING THE PAIN FROM THE GNAWING FOX AND HE HAS NEVER LET PAIN INTERFERE WITH HIS PRESENCE ON THE PULPIT OR THE PLATFORM
