G. W. STRICKLAND

By G. W. Strickland

From Bro. Strickland.

BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Though I have been long silent, still my hope is in God. O that blessed hope! It is like an anchor to the soul. It is my whole desire to honor God in everything, and to follow in the footsteps of my blessed Lord and Master. It is my determination to live for God and the cause of truth. I praise the Lord for the light that shines from his blessed word. Lord grant that it may grow brighter and brighter even unto the perfect day. O what a treasure God has given us. I bless the Lord that he ever sent his messengers this way that I might hear the truth of God's word in its purity. I am thankful for the cheering news from brethren scattered abroad. I rejoice to hear that the glorious work of God is prospering.

Your brother, waiting for the appearing of our Lord,

G. W. STRICKLAND
