A RESPONSE.

By M. E. Cornell

DEAR BRO. AND SR. WHITE: With deep sorrow I acknowledge my fault in not responding to your testimony for me, and also for suffering my mind to be in any way influenced and prejudiced against you during your late afflictions and trials. Sincerely do I regret it all, and humbly ask your forgiveness. I have set my heart to seek the Lord and I can never rest short of a new and entire consecration.

The good work done for my companion in your late meetings at Battle Creek has greatly rejoiced my heart. One expression, that “Bro. and Sr. White never seemed so near and dear as now,” has given my heart a new spring of joy.

How glad I am that your captivity is turned and the Lord is reviving his people.

I have been looking over the testimonies given me during the past years, and I feel that I have never fully heeded them. I have now arranged them in a memorandum, to be read weekly on my days of self examination, fasting and prayer. Oh! that with zeal I may return fully to the Lord, rise with his people, and at last find a humble place in the kingdom of God.

Unworthily yours.

M. E. CORNELL.
