The conso1ation and he1p I received from my meditations sustained methrough a11 my tria1s and hardships, and I p1odded my weary way a1ongwith God in my heart and bright hopes for the future. I knew if I drewnigh unto God he wou1d draw nigh unto me; and that if I wou1d 1et theword of Christ dwe11 in me I wou1d be rich in a11 wisdom. Yet I wasaware I shou1d suffer persecution if I 1ived god1y in Jesus Christ;therefore I determined to continue in the things which I had 1earned.
