Text: English translation and original Japanese

83. Many, Many Years Yosaburo Miyamori received an urgent call from Oyasama while he was working in the rice fields of the Residence. It was so unexpected that he wondered what it was all about. He hurried to Oyasama in his work clothes. Oyasama bestowed the Sazuke on him then and there. "Thank you for having worked these many, many years," were the words given to him by Oyasama in appreciation. Note: It was in May 1881 that Yosaburo Miyamori was granted the Sazuke.

八三　長々の間 　 宮森与三郎が、お屋敷の田圃で農作業の最中、教祖から急にお呼び出しがあった。急の事であったので、「何事かしら、」　と、思いながら、野良着のまま、急いで教祖の御前に参上すると、その場で、おさづけの理をお渡し下された。その上、 　 「長々の間、御苦労であった。」 と、結構なねぎらいのお言葉を下された。 註　宮森與三郎がおさづけを頂いたのは、明治十四年五月のことである。
