This is beautiful spring weather

takes care of them; who doesn’t al
low even a sparrow to fall to the
ground without His notice. We
are thankful for many things, one
especially, that is the sick of our
community are improving, and our
earnest prayer is that they may
soon be restored to health. Anoth
er thing we are thankful for is that
we have so many pious young men
and women in our neighborhood.
