A Victory Gained.

By Erastus Elmer

BRO. SMITH; I would say a few words respecting my experience in regard to using tobacco. I have been using it about forty-five years. At times it has seemed almost impossible to leave off. I have often promised to, but have broken those promises again and again. At length I trust I have gotten the victory, for which I feel thankful to the Lord. I desire to purify myself from all filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. I bless his holy name that he has borne so long with me. I would heed the counsel of the faithful Witness, who says, I know thy works, and hope to meet all the dear saints on the fair banks of deliverance. ERASTUS ELMER. Ashfield, Mass.
