I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God: Just hovering over the great gulf; till, a few moments hence, I am no more seen; I drop into an unchangeable eternity!

Σελίδα 165 - And they shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
