The troublesome lives of the natives appealed to her because it provided the opportunity to conquer a new trial in her life. “…I should be sometimes jealous least I should have my portion in this life, and that Scripture would come to my mind, ‘For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth’ (Hebrews 12.6).” For her, God was sending a test, a test that she would not fail.
