It is a fact that we become happy in exact proportions as we despair of happiness from this changing sinful world and wait & hope for it from the mercy and all (unclear) love of God our saviour. while the storm is raging about me I would not choose to stop and (unclear) mine the structure of a (unclear) edifice but take shelter within your say you are studying the prophesy? - this will for all (in) profitable but I am satisfied that I have more need to study the precepts of the bible I have so little time for reading and study and the more I learn of the dear saviours and him (unclear) the man & (unclear) my "emptiness and poverty."
