W. J. & A. J. MILLS

By W. J. & A. J. Mills

From Bro. & Sr. Mills.

Bro. SMITH: We would say that our interest in the truth is still unabated, and we are still striving to live as becometh those who are looking and hoping for the soon coming of our Saviour. We do feel to praise our heavenly Father for his mercy, that he ever permitted us to hear the truth proclaimed in its purity, and gave us hearts to obey it, even though we had to go in direct opposition to all earthly friends. We feel that the approbation of our heavenly Father is much better than that of an earthly parent. We can truly say that for the past few weeks we have felt that Jesus was more precious to us than ever before, that in answer to earnest prayer we have been enabled to gain the victory over some of our evil besetments, and have felt some of that peace and joy in our heart which the world can neither give nor take away. We do praise the Lord for his goodness and for all his loving kindness towards us, and mean to still press forward and strive to have on the wedding garment, ready to go forth to meet the Bridegroom with joy when he returns from the wedding. We desire an interest in the prayers of those who have access to a throne of grace, that we may continue faithful, and at last come off conquerors through Jesus Christ our Lord

P. S. We would be much pleased if some of the preaching brethren could see it duty to come this way and give a course of lectures; for we think some good might be done.
