She received an immediate ansvv"er ; "Who- soever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. " The boy said, that could not mean such a cross as this was ; for he should think she would be ashamed to be seen carrying such an unwieldly thing as that, into the village. She told him that she was ashamed ; but she never could expect a cross that was agreeable to 48 liuman nature, for that, an agreeable cross, was a contra- diction in terms, and if we could choose and refuse ...as we please, without transgressing, we should shun all crosses. He said she would meet with trouble if she attempted to carry that cross. She said she expected it, but that she had rather meet it, in the way of duty, than elsewhere. But turning a little around, she saw one of her Fathers' directors, whom he had appointed to superintend his gar- den : he was walking in the field near by. She went to the side of the way, and asked him if such a cross as that lay before her, whether she must take it up; for if she did, the family might think it would be a scandal to them, lie answered, "the word is plain, " and as to "conseque- ces, you must leave them with God " The boy stood and heard what the directors told her, and then said, you had better not take that ill-looking cross with you, for it will dishonour the whole family.
