DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS:—If the Lord be for us who can be against us? We do have the evidence here that the Lord is with us; for he sent his servants in the first place, and his blessing, I trust, rested upon their labors. And so from time to time since, when their help is most needed, he has sent them, and his blessing has followed.
O, how good the Lord is. Blessed be his name for sending Brn. Edson and Andrews to visit us at this time; for their coming was like the coming of Titus. They comforted us although under afflictive circumstances on account of sickness in our family. And though our meetings were rather thinly attended yet the Lord was present by his Spirit, and we had the demonstration that the “law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul.”
First-day afternoon, while Bro. Andrews held forth from the Word the righteous law of God, that knows no mercy, showing that he that offends in one point is guilty of its transgression; and showing that redemption was only found in Jesus’ blood, and that he is now in the Holiest of Holies pleading it before the Father for all who will repent and forsake their sins by keeping the commandments of God, one was reclaimed and one I hope converted to the truth. Bless the name of the Lord. O, may we all feel to say from the heart, “the law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.” Ps. cxix, 72.
