In the interval of this operation I took up the Bible and began to read; but my head was too much disturbed with the tobacco to bear reading, at least at that time; only, having opened the book casually, the first words that occurred to me were these, “Call on Me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.”
Durant ces opérations je pris la Bible et je commençai à lire; mais j'avais alors la tête trop troublée par le tabac pour supporter une lecture. Seulement, ayant ouvert le livre au hasard, les premières paroles que je rencontrai furent celles-ci:--«Invoque-moi au jour de ton affliction, et je te délivrerai, et tu me glorifieras.»
