The country here is a prairie and very beautiful and productive.

"If 0od Be With Us, Who Can Be Against Us?" I can report victory in ray soul. I still have that sweet peace of God iu my heart and am so glad I ever found Him ipreeious to my soul for He is a friftnd we go to in all kinds of trouble and sticktth closer than a brother. He has promised that we will not be tempted more than we can bear so I am trusties him thai I may stand aJJ -the fiery trials thai come to that I may remain true to the Lord till the storms of life are over. It seems that if the Devil has any special line of work he delights in more than another it is -to bring discord into the home especially between husband and wife. He is abroad today working with all might.
