Excerpt from The Life of Adoniram Judson: Missionary to Burmah, 1813 to 1850 Worn and ill as he was, from the discomforts of the voy age, the prison air and filthy appointments made him faint and sick. He could not bear to lie down upon the wretched straw, and so paced up and down for hours, as it seemed, wondering if his new friend would come. Thoughts of home and of the biggest church in Boston were again sug gested by the tempter, but this time with no power to dis hearten even, for courage and faith had triumphed.
