,
From rage and passion, noise and war,
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.

To God I cried when troubles rose,
He heard me and subdued my foes,
He did my rising fears control,
And strength diffused through all my soul.

Consider how distressing sickness is to undergo,
And how distressing in many ways,
My parents' sickness, a number of years,
Caused them to sell cows, oxen, horses, and sheep,
English meadow, clear land, and wood land,
Consider how distressing sickness is in many ways.

OUR SAVIOUR'S GOLDEN RULE.

Be you to others kind and true,
As you'd have others be to you,
And never do nor say to them,
Whate'er you would not take again.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, my God of Heaven, Grant me I beseech Thee O
Lord, I pray for Thy Kingdom to come, to ease this misery world, it is

no misery of no kind, The sinners have their punishment for their sins.

Thy Kingdom come. Amen.

Human, do understand how to raise up sick hens to health. Some folks do
not know how to doctor hens, they doctor them wrong, it hurts them, and
it is dreadful cruel to let them die. It is as distressing to dumb
creatures to undergo sickness, and death, as it is for human, and as
distressing to be crueled, and as distressing to suffer. God requires
human to take good care of dumb creatures, and be kind to them, or not

STOPPAGE IN STOMACH.--If a hen has stoppage in her stomach, her corn
