H. S. LAY

By H. S. Lay

From Bro. Lay.

Bro. SMITH: I can say that the Lord is working for his people in this place. He is pleased to meet with us by his good Spirit when we assemble for his worship. Two have recently been added to our number, and a healthy state of things seems to exist.

Bro. Rhodes tarried with us a short time on his way to Battle Creek. The Lord gave him much of his Spirit, and his labors here have been instrumental in accomplishing much good, and will prove, I trust, a lasting blessing to us all. I think I never saw the necessity any more than I do now of making untiring efforts to secure eternal life. I feel determined by God's assisting grace to make my calling and election sure, and to stand with the redeemed on mount Zion.

Yours striving to overcome.
