Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Mr. Mason understood her, and he walked the room in painful agitation.

I will wrestle with God in prayer, and he will make the path of duty plain and pleasant before me.
