He took great pains with all his handiwork and seemed to [[experience]] the [[satisfaction]] of [[human]] [[achievement]] when he had completed a commendable piece of [[work]]. Though he wasted little time upon trifles, he was a painstaking workman when it came to the [[essentials]] of any given undertaking.

Few of the people who had [[enjoyed]] his [[visits]] and ministrations as he had gone up and down in the [[land]] ever subsequently [[recognized]] in the [[public]] [[teacher]] the same [[person]] they had known and loved as a [[private]] [[individual]] in former years. And there was a reason for this failure of his early beneficiaries to [[recognize]] him in his later role of [[public]] and [[authoritative]] [[teacher]]. For long years this [[transformation]] of [[mind]] and [[spirit]] had been in [[progress]], and it was finished during the eventful [[sojourn]] on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon Mount Hermon].
