    En route from New York City to Pennsylvania, Thursday, October 30, 1890

    [Written on note paper on the train. Apparently Mrs. White did not have her diary handy. See facsimile on page 88.]

    We left South Lancaster yesterday at about two o'clock. Was obliged to remain in Worcester three hours. Left at five o'clock p.m. and arrived at New York City at ten o'clock p.m. Willie had preceded us to the city two days. We were obliged to go to Brooklyn to the Mission. We changed five times, I think, and every change required descending stairs or going up stairs. How thankful I was that the Lord had strengthened my limbs, especially my ankle bones, that I could walk as fast and climb stairs equal to any of our party—Willie, A. T. Robinson, Sara McEnterfer and myself. We did not get to rest until midnight. I praise the Lord this morning I can report to those who ask, “How did you sleep?” “Well—notwithstanding the elevated rail cars were rattling over the rails almost by our windows.”MR1033 16.5

    We were delayed one day longer than we designed. I had ague in my ear, and head was involved. I suffered much pain. Dared not be on the road. I consulted a dentist. He said the teeth were not the cause of this affliction. Then I took alcohol sweat, and worked my best to subdue the pain, and the relief came. I am made aware that all this trouble was the result of a severe cold....MR1033 17.1

    I have been urging my prayer for the Lord to strengthen me, to give my poor heart a rest from pain. I leave my petition at the throne of grace and say, “Not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done.” If it be His pleasure to give me grace to work for Him in pain and suffering almost constantly and this is best for me, I say, “Amen.” I will continue to work until I lay off the armor at the feet of my Redeemer.—Manuscript 43, 1890, 1-2.MR1033 17.2
