I have no good thing that is in my flesh: Thou knowest I have nothing but what I received from Thee, that is good; and no one man knoweth but him that receiveth it. These aie my dear children, whom Thou hast trusted to my care. Thou knowest what has been my mind and chief desire, and so I expect to be judged."
