First sentence: "It is pleasant to look back upon past scenes of danger and anxiety; to remark how the hand of our God has led us, and to acknowledge the loving-kindness which warded off many perils, which brought us through many difficulties, and refreshed us with a long season of peaceful repose, that we may muse on his ways, and meditate on all his wondrous doings, and lay to heart a sweet lesson of confiding love."
