Whenever
I see so many poor brothers and neighbours of mine suffering beyond
their strength and overwhelmed with so many physical or mental ills
which I cannot alleviate, then I become exceedingly sorrowful; but I
trust in Christ, who knows my heart. And so I say, “Woe to the man
who trusts in men rather than in Christ.”
--
