From Sister Clark.

BROTHER SMITH: I have just passed through one of the best meetings at Bellville I ever attended. Bro. Van Horn met with us, and his words were truly meat in due season. The burden of his testimony to the church was purity and holiness of heart. The latter part of our meeting was solemn and impressive. While speaking upon these themes we were lifted above the trials of this earth, and enabled by faith to get a glimpse of the joys that await the faithful in their eternal home. Praise to the name of our Heavenly Father, there are now and then little seasons when we can taste his love.
I feel encouraged to strive on until we reach our eternal home. How glad I am that the last message to a perishing world has reached my ears, to show me where I stand in the world's history. Nothing but right doing will give us a place with God's people. Our salvation therefore depends upon our obedience to the moral commandments of God, and the expression of our faith in his Son. May we, with all the remnant of the people of God that are now moving onward, follow on to know the Lord, whose going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth, that great refreshing from the presence of the Lord.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us ever remember that it was our sins that helped crucify our dear Saviour, who is now at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us.
"Oh! the lamb, the loving lamb, The lamb of Calvary! The lamb that was slain, and liveth again To intercede for me."
Your sister in hope of eternal life.
