“The Awakening Land" p613 If you made it easy for folks, it seemed like their hardihood had to pay for it. Didn't she know? Which one of her young ones was it she had raised the softest, done the most for, coaxed and prayed along, saved from bad things one time after the other? Wasn't it the same one that now could take life and his country the least and wanted to change God's world over from top to bottom? It was the same with sick folks, Sayward noticed. Once they had been taken care of too long, they got to feeling the world ought to be changed and softened , centered toward themselves.”
