Returning Money to a Poor Brother
By Editor
Markesan, Wis., Feb. 25th, 1853. DEAR BROTHER:—We return to you a part of the money you sent us. This we think is our duty, considering your circumstances. We should have sent the paper to you just as freely, had you sent nothing, only a statement of your circumstances. You have shown your willingness to sacrifice for the truth's sake, and God will bless you for it. But you will please receive the $3 we return. Though poor in this world's goods, yet if you are an heir of God, you are rich. And if faithful, you will soon have a share in Abraham's great farm. "If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Abraham, also, "looked for a City which hath foundations." Those who are of faith, will be blest with faithful Abraham, and have a share in Abraham's great house, the New Jerusalem.—Ed.
