Excerpt from Joseph S. Sewell: A Quaker Memoir
N sending out this little book of loving memories my niece and' I feel how difficult it is to do justice to J. S. Sewell's character; and the difficulty has been increased by the absence of letters and papers, and also by the fact that very few of his contempor aries are left, or are able to supply material about his early life. If we except the time of his residence in Madagascar, his was an uneventful life as regards his position in a public capacity. In his own family there was much of trial, from illness and suffering, which was always borne in calm, unquestioning submission to the will of God, and it is this trait in his character to which the writer has sought to draw attention. May it be a word in season to some of us who are at times weary and disheartened by the evil and sorrow around encouraging us to do the little we can do, and to wait patiently for God to work in His own best time.
