Your dear letter offering to pay for my long preparation of the Manual, and for its publication, came duly and I reply the first opportunity.

While thanking you deeply for this offer I cannot see where to begin and accept money from my church. I work a large part of my time for this dear church and keep no account of it. What I do for it no one but myself knows nor could do. It is a constant effort on my part to save some one of its members from the jaws of m.a.m. This task nothing can compensate but the joy of saving them. All the money in the world could not prompt me to do it and sometimes I almost think that my human life will be the price of my incessant struggle care and perplexity. If only somebody on earth could relieve me it would be all the world to me.
