I was, for weeks, a poor, brokenhearted mourner, traveling through the darkness and misery of doubts and fears.

I finally found that change of heart which comes by "casting all one's care" upon God, and by having faith in Jesus Christ, as the Redeemer, Friend, and Savior of those who diligently seek Him.
After this, I saw the world in a new light.

I seemed to live in a new world, surrounded by new objects, and to be animated by new hopes and desires.

I loved all mankind--slaveholders not excepted; though I abhorred slavery more than ever.

My great concern was, now, to have the world converted.
