Bro. M. O. Butler writes from E. Thetford, Mich. :
"We have the truth; and my prayer to God is, "Sanctify us through thy truth, thy word is truth." I rejoice in the truth, for the truth will make us free if we obey from the heart that form of doctrine delivered us. Being thereby made free from sin, we become the servants of righteousness. Rom. vi, 17, 18. I know by patient continuance in well doing we are to seek for glory honor and immortality and eternal life. Like one of old I can say, When I am weak then am I strong. I put my trust in the living God. He being my helper I can "run through a troop and leap over a wall." We have had all sorts of teachers among us. The Protestant Methodists are holding a meeting here, and they think it strange that we do not run to the same excess with them. They cry union, and because we cannot join with them, they say we have a sectarian devil with us. They want us to help them, but we must leave that holy, just and good law at home. I feel to thank God for the truth. The law of God is my delight. Pray for us."
