East Bethel, Vt., July 1, 1871

By L. G. Camp

From Sister Camp.

Dear Bro. White: I feel like saying a few words through our excellent paper for the encouragement of the Female Missionary Society, as I think it must be a satisfaction to them to know that their labor is not in vain in the Lord, and is duly appreciated by the scattered, lonely, afflicted ones; and that, while they are trying to comfort and encourage us, we do not forget to pray for them that God would water their souls as with the dew of heaven as they go forth on their mission of love.

I can hardly think of the merciful institution without weeping tears of gratitude to God and those dear brethren who instigated it, and all concerned in it. And while I regard the hour appointed for prayer, it seems the most like having a prayer-meeting of anything I have ever enjoyed aside from the privilege of meeting with them. I feel that God is well pleased with their labors of love for the poor scattered sheep that are surrounded by an unhallowed influence, that we may not be left behind when the good Lord makes up his jewels. Go on, my dear sisters in the Lord; I bid you a hearty God speed.

Yours, hoping with you to inherit the kingdom, L. G. CAMP.
