LETTERS.

By Austin Harmon

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

From Bro. Harmon.

BRO. WHITE: I should be pleased to have you send me the Review, though I have nothing at present to pay. I have preached among the Baptists seven or eight years, and for the last three years preceding last spring, in my native place, where I was ordained nine years ago. I feel interested in the truths advocated in your paper, and have for several years. I have for a long time felt dissatisfied with the popular theology on account of its vague and unsatisfying nature. But my early training, and the reverence I have had for the Baptist denomination, have operated to repress my honest convictions. God in his providence has opened my eyes to see the worldliness and corruption of the popular sects, and I have longed to enjoy the communion of the saints who are in earnest to flee from the wrath to come, and who are not trying to serve God and mammon. I would ask the prayers of all the brethren, that I may be strengthened in the truth as it is in Jesus, and may my way be opened to preach the whole counsel of God. I wish very much that some of your preachers would come this way. My address is,

AUSTIN HARMON,
