Chapter 18 — Providence of God in the Publishing Work

“THEN shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord; his going forth is prepared as the morning.” 1 GSAM 281.1

Up to the month of June, 1849, the labors of Elder White and his wife and Elder Bates were confined to the New England States. At this time Miss Clarissa Bonfoey, of Middletown, Conn., joined Elder White’s family. A short time previous to this, her mother died, leaving her everything necessary for housekeeping on a small scale. By this means Elder White was enabled again to set up housekeeping; and this he did in a part of Mr. Belden’s house at Rocky Hill, Conn. GSAM 281.2
