| 1892 | Letters Ben wrote of his last hour with his family before departing on his mission: "The last hour was almost spent in silence for our hearts were too full to speak. At last the car signal was heard, the final “goodbyes” were spoken as I rushed forth to the car—leaving Allie & Emma sobbing and almost heartbroken and my dear son, Percy, trying to comfort them. ‘Twas a hard struggle and only a sense of sacred duty would have reconciled us all to make the sacrifice. May God preserve us all to meet again when the mission of love has been faithfully performed." Read more in Ben's Missionary Journal >> |
