Diary of Gerrit Smith: Sabbath, October 25, 1835

The Lord carry much instruction to my mind and heart from the scenes of the past week, and may He teach me, and enable me to rely on Himself for protection in all the perils that surround and threaten me. The Lord inspire my heart with holy courage. The Lord make me His humble, confiding, holy little child, and profit greatly my dear wife by the instructive providences through which we are passing.
