A Confession.

By E. G. Stevenson

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, but especially to the members of the Parkville church: Since I have moved to the place where I now reside, I have had a chance to reflect upon my past life, and by humiliation of heart, I have been enabled to see where I lacked in judgment while I was in your midst. O dear brethren and sisters, I am sorry that I lived so far away from the Lord, that my influence was a scattering, instead of a gathering, one. I intend so far as I can, to right all the wrongs of the past. I have asked God to forgive me, and I believe he has. And now, dear brethren and sisters, will you forgive me the wrongs that I have done to any of you?

I am thankful for the gifts which God has placed in the church in the last days; for they point out to us our wrongs. I hope ever to be able to profit by the testimonies that may be given, and hope that I may have an abundant entrance into the city of God.
