Therefore, my friends, you will have patience and confidence in the words I have said. And again you will know that if I have gone away, I am still nearer to you for the very reason that I am away. But at the same time, I very often come to America, and the friendship and devotion of my friends will draw me still oftener. There is no reason to think that I am going. You may just as well think that I am staying with you all.
