YOUR LETTER RECEIVED,—THANKS!

Please accept our thanks for your hundreds of letters received recently, and know of our hearty appreciation of your sympathy and confidence. The fact that you were slow to believe an evil report, and that you waited patiently for our reply, speaks well for your spiritual condition;—”thinketh no evil,” being one of the fruits of the spirit of Christ, just as “evil surmisings” evidence a carnal mind. Cultivate in yourselves more and more the spirit of the truth you enjoy. So your hearts will be in that healthy condition which neither breeds a spiritual pestilence, nor is susceptible to its contagion from others.

Our thoughts were more with you than for ourselves, we feared for the younger and the weaker ones, and prayed for you all,—that your faith fail not, and that you cast not away your confidence which hath great recompense of reward. The letters referred to came as answers to our prayers, as assurances that the Lord knoweth them that are his and that none are able to pluck them out of his hand. Sister Tucker’s letter came first, and was specially acknowledged at the throne of grace. This trial by which the great Adversary sought to disrupt the Lord’s work and scatter the Lord’s sheep is really drawing the true hearts nearer to each other and to the Lord. We realize afresh that all things are working together for good to them that love God, the called ones according to his purpose. The Lord will not forget this, your ministry of love toward us. (See Heb. 6:10; 10:32-39.) Even a cup of cold water given in the name of a disciple will in due time receive a reward from the King. Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of his disciples, ye did it unto him.

Please accept this as a reply to your kind letters, as we are just now pressed with work, cannot conveniently answer each personally.

WALL CHARTS FIVE FEET LONG

We contracted with a first-class painter, during his dull season last winter, for one hundred copies of The Chart of the Ages on cloth, five feet long, mounted on a spring roller, suitable for little parlor gatherings. These would ordinarily cost about $5.00 each, for the painting alone, but by reason of the quantity, etc.,—we are enabled to offer them to you at $1.50 each, delivered, at your nearest Express office.
