Isaiah 30:20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction… There are troubled hours in life, in which we long to see our teachers; to know what certain things mean; and to have it explained why some special trials have been put upon us, and to what end events, now inexplicable, are tending.
