|  If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world. | | I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now. | | I bless God for this retirement: I never was more thankful for any thing than I have been of late for the necessity I am under of self-denial in many respects. | | As to my success here I cannot say much as yet: the Indians seem generally kind, and well-disposed towards me, and are mostly very attentive to my instructions, and seem willing to be taught further. |
