From Bro. Davis.

DEAR READERS OF THE REVIEW: I have been deeply afflicted in the loss of my only son. He was a promising child, and I had consecrated him to the Lord, and taught him to lisp the name of Jesus; but yesterday I laid him in the tomb, and I feel to mourn. But I mourn especially on account of my own sins. Dear friends, if any one has a word of consolation for a penitent, I need it now, for my heart is wounded and bleeding before God. I hate my iniquities; they are grievous in my sight. Will those that know me forgive me for the past? And I do request the prayers of all, for I wish to be more devoted to the holy cause of truth, and my motto is, “Although He slay me, yet will I trust in him.” G. W. DAVIS.
