quote trackdown?

[edit]

I wanted to include this quote, as part of her rule of life, but could not find adequate sourcing, beyond http://www.ewhp.org/harriet-bedell/

   God is first.
   Don’t worry. Put all in the hands of God. Don’t think or talk about your troubles.
   Don’t hurry.
   Don’t eat too much, or between meals.
   Don’t do two things at the same time.
   All life involves sacrifice.

Chaplain

[edit]

I've improved the article as much as I can without access to any of the three recent biographies. I did notice that in 1963, during her retirement but before her death, the Episcopal Chaplain at Florida State University was Rev. George Bedell. See George R. Bentley, The Episcopal Diocese of Florida, 1892-1975 at p. 219. Given the relatively unusual last name, he might well be a relative, although I've seen no indication that Deaconess Bedell herself either married or had children.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:35, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
