“Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to
see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose. Oh, that God would
make me more fruitful and spiritual.”— Colonial missionary to
the American Indians David Brainerd (1718-1747), journal entry Apr. 15, 1746, in
Jonathan Edwards, Life and Journal of the
Rev. David Brainerd (1826)
