| Evidence: | J.M., convict sentenced to transportation, writing to Rev. Joseph: 'I am at present amongst sin and wickedness of the worst description; but thanks be to Almighty God, I am kept from it by his grace, which I have found to be all sufficient in every time of trouble. I have made the Word of God my chief companion, and when I come from my work, I take the Bible in hand, and read a chapter or two; and I do assure you I derive much comfort from the same.' |
