Encouragement in the Work

By George Washington Holt

From Bro. Holt.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I feel strong in the Lord, and never felt more like doing his whole will than at present. I am encouraged to toil on, knowing that God is in the work of gathering precious souls into the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the truth, and is blessing every effort that is made for that purpose.

Since I wrote you from Oswego, I have visited Sandy Creek, Redfield, Boylston, and Lorain. In Redfield I found a number who were starving for the truth. In the other places the brethren were growing stronger and more united. God's people are springing up "among the grass, as willows by the water-courses." In some places where but a few months since, there was seemingly no sign of there being one child of God, they are now springing up, and becoming strong in the present truth. This is the Lord's work. Amen.

Your Brother in the love of God. G. W. HOLT. Camden, (N. Y.), Dec. 11, 1851.
