Worship, rest, Bible reading, and meditation on the glories of Christ were the order of the day. He, in fact, would not mail a letter if he thought it would travel on Sunday. As his pastor William S. White observed, ‘His faith…not only made him brave, but gave form, order, direction, and power to his whole life.'”
