sle with Rosa and grandpa, Satan made upon
me a relentless onslaught. It seemed that there were two mighty and
opposing forces within, each struggling for the supremacy. I did not
yield entirely to the right till this afternoon, for I have gloried in
my reputation of being influenced by no one.

"For years I have not been satisfied, knowing myself to be slipping
farther and farther away from God. I have longed for the joy of my first
