A Burden for Souls.

By E. Glover

To those who may be inquiring where I am and what I am doing, I write these lines. I am living in Kansas, Neosho Falls, Woodson County. I have not given up the cause of my Redeemer, but am striving to keep the faith once delivered to the saints. Unfavorable circumstances and ill health have made it impossible for me to labor much in the vineyard of the Lord, but I have been striving to bring the truth before the minds of the people, by circulating tracts, books, and papers, hoping and trusting that some good may be accomplished and some souls saved.

But this does not unburden my mind. I want to be laboring more extensively in the cause of God. I feel the burden of precious souls that know not the truth. While anxiously desiring to present the blessed truth to them, many tears are shed, and many prayers are offered. I hope and trust that God may hasten the time when I can do more to advance the cause I so much love. I ask the prayers of all those who feel a burden for precious souls, that God may keep me by his mighty power and through his grace, that I may stand firm in the truth, and that I may be kept from the power of Satan, until the Lord sees fit to release me from this burden, or open the way for me to go forward in the discharge of duty; and that I may finally overcome, and stand with his chosen ones on Mount Zion.
