# A hymn, like milk and honey, is the outflow of a life that has learned lessons and is dealt with >Sister Barber really knew how to help others. Once Brother Nee wrote several good hymns in one night. He thought he would receive a compliment, but instead Sister Barber poured cold water on him. She said, “A hymn, like milk and honey, is the outflow of a life that has learned lessons and is dealt with. This cannot happen in one day and one night.” [[Sources - Anchored to Infintiy Chinese edition by Christian Chen| Anchored to Infinity - Chinese edition]], section 6
