the speed Of lightning, no part of her
system, at times, was exempt from
these sudden pains; in this condition
of body she suffered for years; and it
was remarkable with what fortitude
she would bear these an ry spasoms
without murmuring or complaint.
This is proof of her great strength
If will, and her unbounded trust in God
as her Father and the Father of all.
She had implicit trust in His iatherly
government, firmly believing that His
nature is love; she saw by faith the
love Of God high y exalted and given
