Van Buren Co., Mich

By S. H. Bonfoey

From Sr. Bonfoey.

DEAR BRETHREN: The last package of books, cards, &c., came safely and in due season; are all perused by self, and quite a number scattered among my friends. My hungry soul would fain grasp much more, but I doubt not the Lord will supply me as fast as he sees it is for my good. Oh, who that once turns their attention thereto can doubt the truth of this message. I would not leave the standard of truth for any earthly friend. The Saviour is more precious than these. Have I not left them all for Jesus' sake, and will he not fulfill his promise made to such? I have no doubt he will if I but follow him, yet how hard to leave them behind. I have thought not one is so stubborn as myself; when the Lord opens their eyes as he did mine, they must see. O Lord, keep me close to the blessed Saviour, that his light may be reflected on his follower, that others may see and be led to glorify our Father which is in Heaven.

My heart is still full, and I must mention Testimony No. 15. Those personal ones must have been written for my profit; at least the Lord helps me to profit by them. It is the Lord's doings, and marvelous in our eyes.

Yours, hoping to overcome, S. H. BONFOEY.
