He gave up all thought of the pleas

seeing Annis, and of perhaps asking
her to be his wife, during this very
night, while he stood and worked to
do good, and in Gods providence
tried to be the means of saving the
lives OF people who were nothing to
lim?
Thus his thoughts ran over and over

1oices of hooking demons, while out /.
