. . . our election is utterly unshakable because our election
"stands in the eternal and immutable good will of God toward us and that it cannot be altered by any of the storms of the world . . . We should then cultivate a spirit of fortitude and courage which may serve to sustain us under the weight of all the calamities we may be called upon to endure, so that we may be able to testify to the truth that when reduced to the extremity of despair we have never ceased to trust in God.
