Evidence: | 'Having poured forth my soul in prayer, and having exhorted my household to live in the love and fear of the Lord, I have attained some mental relief upon entering a New Year and finishing another.

"Hear my prayer and be merciful unto thine inheritance; turn our sorrow into joy that we may live oh Lord and praise thy name"' |
