The conflict was now decided; I was at no loss
to know His will: and I felt assured, that He would
strengthen my weakness, so that I should be able
to perform what He required of me, though I had

"us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up."
<emotion>I was much struck with these words, they sunk
deep into my heart.</emotion> At length the day arrived when
I was to bid adieu to my Paternal home, and to a
much loved Brother! An old faithful servant of
