In the morning it appeared that Satan sat at my door, suggesting all sorts of discouraging things.

He tried to make me believe that my public work was done, and especially suggesting that I should renounce the subject on which I was talking, and wait for better days before I attempted to talk again.

The Prayer Meeting that followed was certainly encouraging.
We had twenty-seven out.

Still, I came away with very much the same feeling that had been aroused while I was talking.

I took a little refreshment, and tried to get a little sleep, but my mind was too much agitated to allow of it.
