'ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND
IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU."

St. Matthew, vii. 7.

"THUS SAITH THE LORD THAT CREATED THEE...., FEAR NOT: FOR I HAVE
REDEEMED THEE, I HAVE CALLED THEE BY THY NAME; THOU ART MINE.
WHEN THOU PASSEST THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH THEE; AND
THROUGH THE RIVERS, THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW THEE.... FOR I AM
THE LORD THY GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, THY SAVIOUR.'
Isaiah xliii. 1-3.
