So be it. I am only Thine,
And feel, through Christ, that Thou art mine.

"1848.--A whole week I have been a prisoner, in consequence of a
swollen foot; but I am sure it is permitted in love. I see it to be my
privilege patiently to submit, and think I feel willing to do so; but
there are many intricacies in the human heart, and I see no further

our souls are in danger of suffering loss in consequence.--Called to
