[French and English by Evelyn Everett-Green]@TWC D-Link bookFrench and English CHAPTER 3: Philadelphia 17/27
When the Lord shows us His mind, it is not for us to persist in our evil courses; we must be patient beneath His chastenings." "Tush, man! the whole campaign was grossly mismanaged; all the world knows that by now.
