LETTERS.

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

From Bro. Wilson.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I have just received Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, and in perusing it I have experienced a great blessing. It was to me truly a spiritual feast, at which my soul was refreshed. Thanks to our kind heavenly Parent for causing such light to be dispensed among his believing children, and thanks to our beloved brother and sister White for their instrumentality in placing the same within our means of obtaining it. Who cau but sympathize with them in the toils and privations which they have endured for the sake of the needy cause of Christ? May heaven be their great reward, and the reward of all who have forsaken everything to go forth and proclaim the good news of salvation, and of the coming kingdom to a perishing world.

I would be remembered in the prayers of God's people as they kneel at the family altar, or retire separately to plead with the Lord in secret. I stand all alone with reference to human companions in the truth, but I can say with thankfulness toward God that I have not been at any time without the means of consolation and support, or without one whom I find to be "a very present help in time of trouble." The more I realize of the peace of God which passeth understanding, the more I desire and miss the society of fellow-pilgrims and sufferers for Christ; but "the Lord God is a sun and a shield, the Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."

Yours in the Christian's hope.

G. P. WILSON.
