When her friend, fellow preacher and future husband, Thomas Russell was in prison for preaching the gospel, Elizabeth Smith a Primitive Methodist pioneer evangelist prayed this prayer:
Thanks be to God, the storm which distresses us helps us towards the shore;
Though there are changes, it is but one journey, and we soon shall be at the end.
Though there are many conflicts it is but one battle;
And we shall soon shout VICTORY! through the blood of the Son of God!
Quoted in The Life and Labours of Elizabeth Russell, from The Writings of Thomas Russell, page 198 Tentmaker publications.
