and Of Thy tender sympathy and may there
be vsions-they cannot do much a. yetvsions or tne
risen glory OF the souls that went out Of this great
trbuaton up to the heart OF God. In all such troubles
do Thou be near OH God Grant that there be some
growing wisdom TO prevent such sorrows. May we

by there shall be such desolaton that, and
Thou wilt wipe all such tears from those faces.
