From Bro. Abbott.

REFERRING to his late visit to this place, Bro. S. M. Abbott, of Will Co., Ill., writes:
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Now that I am returned to my home again, and can reflect upon all that I heard, and saw, and experienced among you as a Christian people, I feel to lift my heart in gratitude to God. I look upon my visit among you as an important era in my life. In all my desires to visit you, I feel conscious that the first and uppermost impulse of my heart, was to glorify God. I desired to be fellowshipped by a people whose God is truly the Lord. Pray for me, that my life may be a shining light. Now I feel identified with you as a people waiting for the return of our Lord. I feel to sympathize with you in all your trials, and I know that you have many to bear. I resume my place here in Wilmington, with new motives to work, new hopes to inspire me, and new trials to prove me. Remember me as one of your number.
