A Correction and Testimony of Faith
By E. J. Paine
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—In looking over the letter I wrote to you Dec. 12th, I see there is a mistake. I wrote that there was no meetings within five miles. Eagle Harbor, and Albion are each five miles from us; but there are meetings nearer. Far be it from me to wish to state what is not true, or do any thing to injure the cause of Christ. (Yet I do not consider it as such in the sight of God.) But there are some in this place who feel disposed to call it a lie. May God forgive them the wrong they have done in trying to circulate it. And O, may the Lord enable me so to watch every word and act, that the world may have no reason to gainsay. It is my earnest prayer that my daily walk may be such as shall adorn my profession by a well ordered life and godly conversation. Since I wrote to you, Brn. Chapin and Lindsey have been here, and we feel much strengthened. There are six in this place, who are endeavoring to keep all of the commandments of God. We meet three times in a week, and the Lord does truly meet with us and bless us. O, I do rejoice in the glorious hope of soon seeing Jesus. Then if we are his children, we shall be made like him, and shall reign with him for ever. Yours in hope of eternal life, E. J. PAINE. Barre, N. Y., Feb. 27th, 1853.
