From Bro. Van Doren.

BRO. SMITH: I feel very thankful to my God that he ever brought me to a true knowledge of the fourth commandment. Since I first sought an interest in the blood of Christ, I have ever made it a point to obey him, and now, in accordance with this principle, I have commenced the keeping of all God's commandments; and in view of my endeavors, and as he has promised, I look for strength from on high. I feel truly that I am in Egypt. My wife and self have never been baptized. We believe that Mark xvi, 15–18,

applies to the whole Christian era. We want to be baptized. The world looks dark, but his will, not mine, be done, is ever my prayer. Feeling my own weakness, I ask your advice.

Yours in hope. C. C. VAN DOREN.
