An old preacher, Benjamin Parsons, was asked,
“How are you today?” He replied,
“My head is resting very sweetly on three pillows, infinite power, infinite wisdom, infinite love.”
A preacher once quoted this and some months later visited a poor woman apparently dying. She said to him: “I went through a surgical operation and it was cruel. I was leaning my head on pillows, and as the surgeons were taking them away I said, ‘May I not keep them?’ They answered, ‘No, we must take them away.’ ‘But,’ said I, ‘you can’t take away Benjamin Parsons’ three pillows. I can lay my head on those—infinite power, infinite wisdom, infinite love.’”
