" If your health should suffer, what grief upon grief to those who grieve already! And besides, we who have to live are not to lie down under the burden. There will be time enough for lying down presently, very soon; and in the meanwhile there is plenty of God’s work to do with the body and with the soul, and we have to do it as cheerfully as we can. "
