"Encouragement from the Brethren The company of believers in Portland were ignorant concerning the exercises of my mind that had brought me into this state of despondency; but they knew that for some reason my mind had become depressed, and they felt that this was sinful on my part, considering the gracious manner in which the Lord had manifested Himself to me. Meetings were held at my father's house, but my distress of mind was so great that I did not attend them for some time. My burden grew heavier until the agony of my spirit seemed more than I could bear. LS 70"

Like a tender father he tried to encourage and comfort me, bidding me believe I was not forsaken by the Friend of sinners. LS 70.3"
