LETTERS.

By L. M. Fielde

“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”

From Sister Fielde.

BRO. SMITH: I feel to thank God that through the labors of Bro Cornell, my husband and myself are now rejoicing in the light of "present truth." I hardly know how to express my gratitude for the things we have heard. Though much opposed at first I bless God that I not only became convinced, but am striving to obey the truth by keeping all God's commands and the faith of Jesus. Since Bro. C. came here, death has entered our dwelling and taken a loved and only child; and although some of the Methodists of this place say it was a judgment sent upon us for embracing this doctrine, I can only say in the language of one who died for us all, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." I bless God that we sorrow not as those without hope but rejoice in the hope of the glorious resurrection, when if we are faithful we shall meet those loved ones to say farewell no more forever. I now have much anxiety for my dear relations and friends who have never heard "present truth." May God give them honest hearts that when they hear they may do so without prejudice, that if they live until Jesus comes they may be found among the remnant people that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Such is my prayer.

L. M. FIELDE.
