"I am yours" is the best and greatest thing one can say, if to the right person. It led to a strong friendship between him and Spelman, and to his going often to the workshop of the elder Spelman, the carpenter.
Henry Spelman and his party were slain in April, 1623. The Virginia Company established the first permanent English settlement in America, but did not reap the profits that it had expected. Even through reorganization and large expenditures, it never achieved its full objective and was increasingly subject to criticism despite its remarkable achievement.
When it came to the plastering of the walls, Mr Spelman, after giving them full directions, left the two boys to do that between them.
They were both so eager for Sandy liked the idea of digging in the ruins much better than the work he was at that they set off at full speed the moment they were out of the shop, and never slackened until they stood panting by the anchored pickaxe, upon which Spelman pounced, and being stronger than Willie, and more used to hard work, had soon dislodged both the stones which held it.
Sir John Spelman, relying apparently only on the authority of Nicholas Harpesfeld's Ecclesiastical History of England, puts a speech into Alfred's mouth, which he is supposed to have delivered before the battle of Edington. He tells them that the great sufferings of the land had been yet far short of what their sins had deserved.
Their later success was as remarkable as their mission was unique. Meanwhile Spelman Seminary, in the record of her graduates who have gone as missionaries to Africa, has also developed a glorious tradition. To those heroic men and women who represented this idea of education at its best, too much credit can not be given.
Cravath at Fisk, Ware at Atlanta, Armstrong at Hampton, Graves at Morehouse, Tupper at Shaw, and Packard and Giles at Spelman, are names that should ever be recalled with thanksgiving. These people had no enviable task. They were ostracized and persecuted, and some of their co-workers even killed.
He little knew by what a roundabout succession of cause and effect his father's kindness to Spelman was at this moment returning to him, one of the links of connection being this project of Willie's own. The doctor being out at the time, the carpenter called again later in the evening; and they had a long talk together to the following effect.
Yes, grannie, I have settled now; I'll be a carpenter there!" cried Willie, jumping up from his seat. "If it hadn't been for Mr Spelman, I don't see how we could have had you with us, grannie. Think of that!" "Only, if you had been a tailor or a shoemaker, you would have come still nearer to the people themselves." "I don't know much about tailoring," returned Willie.
The captain of the ship bought Spelman from the Indians. He was now a young man, and, as he could speak both the Indian language and the English, he was very useful in carrying on trade between the white men and the Indians. At the time that Henry Spelman first went among the Indians, they had no iron tools except a very few that they had bought of the white people.
