A LETTER FROM GEORGIA.

By W. F. Kellen

Bro. W. F. Kellen writes from Houston Co., Ga.:—

When I was quite a youth I had very strong religious impressions, and would have gladly united with God’s people; but seeing so many different denominations all claiming to be the church of Christ, I was afraid to unite with any

of them. My parents were Missionary Baptists; but I determined to wait until I was grown, and then to unite with that church which I could feel assured took the Bible for its rule of faith and practice. At twenty-one years of age I was stirred up to decide this matter, and finally went with the Missionary Baptists. Since then I have thought myself a strong Baptist, though I have always held myself in readiness to renounce error when discovered.

About two years ago Eld. C. O. Taylor passed by where I lived, and I providentially heard him talk on some of the precious truths of the Bible that my attention had not been called to before. After investigating I was thoroughly convinced, and the Lord helped me to accept his truth. My wife is as firm in the present truth as I am. I have a family of eight children, and I desire that they may love Jesus. The people around us are very wicked. We have done the best we could to point them to the truth, and we believe that many of them are convinced. Brethren, pray for us.
