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 these—infinite power, infinite wisdom, infinite love."
