bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The determination that as for me, I will serve the Truth, seems to be put to the test. A trial of faith, just as those of old were tried.

These trials seem to come upon one, in his most vulnerable part, just where he is weakest, of course-a chain is no stronger than the weakest point, and a man is no stronger than his greatest weakness. You will be assailed in your weakest point. A General always attacks the enemy at the point where he may be the easiest overcome. You will be assailed in your weakest point. The
