‘_Oct. 16._--Dear, excellent ---- thinks that my not having a “Revival” in Batala is because I do not study his favourite author. You can hardly have a _Revival_ unless there has been some life before.... Our work is more like clearing in backwoods,--there are huge trees and boulders cumbering the ground; not just weeds overspreading a garden that once was a little cultivated. Then here women cannot read, and do not choose to learn.... I like Miss Havergal’s _Kept for the Master’s Use_ so much. It is beautiful. But I do not feel with her that it is possible on Earth to have our _will_ exactly _one_ with God’s. Even the Blessed Saviour made a distinction between “My Will” and “Thy Will.” Dear C. T. T., for instance, submitted sweetly to her heavy trials; but it could not be her _will_, it was her _cross_, to lose all her nearest and dearest, and see her father ill for so many years.’
