MR No. 249—Experience of James White
文稿发布-第04卷-第41章
除他(怀雅各)以外,好几个受雇的人是没有信仰、举止粗俗的人。他们一致同意要使牧师不好过,因为他不习惯这种苦差事,他们要把他撞倒,把他从田里赶出去。他当时对此毫不知情,然而在他去田里之前,我们极其恳切地寻求主加给他力量并且保护他。……{4MR408.1}[1]

There were several hands employed beside himself [James White] who were irreligious, rough men. They agreed among themselves to make it hard for the minister, for as he was unaccustomed to such stern hard work, they would run him down and drive him from the field. He knew at that time nothing of this, but before he went into the field, we sought the Lord most earnestly that He would strengthen and protect him....{4MR 408.1}[1]

牧师进入田里的时候,他们让他带头割草。他选了宽的一幅。那些跟着的人……尽全力要靠近他,这使他加快了脚步。……他们在那大块田里只走了两趟,他们就丢下长柄大镰刀,说:“怀特,你的意思是要杀了自己和我们吗?……我们原以为你是一个牧师,不会凭经验知道怎么使镰刀,但我们现在相信你比我们棒多了,而且是我们曾见过的最好的割草人,而你在这大热天都不喝啤酒或烈酒。当你来到田里作工人时,我们都疯了。我们不想让一个牧师在我们中间。……我们不得不投降了。”{4MR408.2}[2]

As he entered the field, they put the minister to lead in mowing the swath. He took a wide swath. Those who followed ... bent to with all their energies to keep up close to him which led him to quicken his steps.... They had gone across the large field but twice when they threw down their scythes and said, “White, do you mean to kill yourself and us? ... We thought you were a minister and could not know by experience how to handle a scythe, but we give you the credit of being far ahead of us and the best mower we ever saw—and you have taken no beer or liquor this hot day. When you came into the field as a worker, we were mad. We did not want a minister in our company.... We have had to give up.”...{4MR 408.2}[2]

我的丈夫感谢他们的称赞,但他觉得还有一位要感谢,是他们并不喜爱、信赖或侍奉的,就是天上的上帝。{4MR408.3}[3]

My husband thanked them for their compliments but he felt that he had One to thank whom they did not love, trust, or serve—the God of heaven.{4MR 408.3}[3]

这一天的工作以不止一种方式证明对他来说是一个福气。它打破了人们对他作为一名牧师的生硬偏见;他在忍受正午烈日的高温时神经和肌肉的剧烈运动……解开了肢体的束缚,他发现自己受伤的脚能直接落地了。此后他走路很稳,没有人会想到他曾经瘸过。(《文稿》1885年19号第2,3页,〈欧洲常务委员会〉,1885年9月21日)1970年9月9日发布。{4MR408.4}[4]

This day’s work proved to him a blessing in more ways than one. It broke down the stiff prejudice that existed against him as a minister; and the severe strain of nerve and muscle he was under while enduring the heat of the noonday sun, ... [caused] the cords in the limb [to become] relaxed, [and] he found himself bringing his wounded foot squarely to the ground.After this he stepped so firmly, no one would imagine he had ever been lame.”—Manuscript 19, 1885, 2, 3. (“European General Council,” September 21, 1885.)Released September 9, 1970.{4MR 408.4}[4]
