I believe that it is our Lord's good pleasure frequently in the beginning, and at times in the end, to send these torments, and many other incidental temptations, to try those who love Him, and to ascertain if they will drink the chalice, and help Him to carry the Cross, before He intrusts them with His great treasures.
All that is necessary is some one to put up sufficient money to cover the expense of transportation and excavation and it can be divided between us.
