Confession.

By Edward Saxby

Bro. WHITE: I would say to the brethren and sisters who have known my manner of life since I have separated myself from God's people, that I humbly confess my backslidden condition for the past four years, during which time I have found no rest; and whereas I thought that Bro. White was too plain with me at the tent meeting held at North Sutton four years ago, and that Bro. A. C. Bourdeau was out of his place, I now feel free to say that Bro. White was not plainer than my case demanded, and that Bro. A. C. B. was in his place. And I would here ask the forgiveness of Brn. White and Bourdeau for what I have said in regard to them. I would also ask an interest in the prayers of the brethren and sisters that I may recover myself from the snare of the Devil, be fully restored to the favor of God, and be saved at the coming of Christ.
