Nellie Colebrook Taylor's Answer to Her Silent Prayer

“Sister Taylor’s timidity, of which we have already spoken, was very evident in her work in the Mutuals. When she knew that in a short time she would be called to speak, one who might be sitting by her would feel her suddenly grasp her arm, as though afraid she might run away so much did she shrink from the task of public speaking; but, when she arose, it was with a poise and dignity, all her own, which, at once, commanded the attention of her audience. There would be no evident struggle, as she made her earnest appeal for more faithful living. Her whispered prayer, ‘O Lord, help me,’ was not in vain. — The Young Woman's Journal 21:6”
