listeners was filled with (juotations of God' s Word, She

is

al

most

illiterate

and yet the spirit

she

manifests is marvelous,

Her correspondence lessons are returned showing signs

of

struggle

because study is difficult

but

her

persistence

in wanting to

know God's Will for her

life cannot be

discounted.

The

who

are

on

of suicide and despair, those who know only the

names

given.

We ask

that

your prayers might

go up

to the

throne

of God

with ours that while it
