All that I can remember about her was seeing her bowing in prayer or talking to us children.
Begin with the calves, and fancy that you are worshipping Jehovah, and you will end with Baal and Moloch. Refuse to hear God's pleadings, and you will sell your freedom, and become the lowest and only real kind of slave the bondsman of evil.
We will therefore continue our pleadings on receiving leave from your Holiness to do so."

Not content with this, he had pursued her with his pleadings by means of the wireless telegraph while she was on the ocean, and had not given up the struggle even when she reached New York.
