Can you consent to all this, in the hope of soon meeting your daughter in the world of glory, with a crown of righteousness brightened by the acclamation of praise which shall redound to her Saviour from heathens saved, through her means, from eternal woe and despair? Mr. Hasseltine gave his consent, and on February 5, 1812, his daughter was married to Adoniram Judson.
Before the court adjourned that day it was known throughout the town that Adoniram K. Hotchkiss had compromised the suit for four thousand dollars and costs. Colonel Starbottle had so far recovered his equanimity as to strut jauntily towards his office, where he was to meet his fair client.
Do you think I'll take that money?" Jerome turned to Henry. "Henry, it's for you, and not your mother," said he. "Will you take it?" Henry, still knitting, shook his head. "I tell you there is no hurry about the mill. I can wait and earn more. I give it to you freely." "We shouldn't take it unless I give you a note of hand, Jerome," Adoniram interposed, in a quavering voice.
"I want to see you jest a minute." "I tell ye I can't, nohow, mother." "Father, you come here." Sarah Penn stood in the door like a queen; she held her head as if it bore a crown; there was that patience which makes authority royal in her voice. Adoniram went. Mrs. Penn led the way into the kitchen, and pointed to a chair. "Sit down, father," said she; "I've got somethin' I want to say to you."
Adoniram Judson and Luther Rice, who had been sent to Burmah by a Congregational Missionary Society, made known to the Baptists that they themselves had become Baptists, and had been repudiated by their own society, and asked for help. The Missionary Baptists are by far the most enterprising in all that pertains to the spread of Christianity.
The little doctor leaned back in his seat, and beamed at her over his big glasses. She began to look rested and young already. "This journey is the very thing," he declared to himself, and his hard-worked hand slipped itself over her toil-worn one as it lay on her lap. She turned to him with a smile. "Adoniram, I never imagined anything like this," she said simply. "No more did I," he answered.
"Ann Lizy sent over to see if you'd made up your mind," said Adoniram. Amanda started. "Good-mornin', Mr. Babcock. Yes, you can tell her I have. I'm a-goin'." There was a reckless defiance of faith in Amanda's voice. She had a wild air as she stood there with the broom in a faint swirl of dust. "Well, Ann Lizy'll be glad you've made up your mind to.
The young hired man milked, and Sarah directed him calmly to bring the milk to the new barn. He came gaping, dropping little blots of foam from the brimming pails on the grass. Before the next morning he had spread the story of Adoniram Penn's wife moving into the new barn all over the little village.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
She held the wooden mixing-bowl in her lap, and stirred with as desperate resolution, compressing her lips painfully, as if she were stirring the dregs of her own cup of sorrow. Pretty soon there were voices outside and steps on the path. The door opened, and two women came in. One was Paulina Maria, Adoniram Judd's wife; the other was Belinda, the wife of Ozias Lamb. Belinda Lamb spoke first.
