L E T T E R S.

By J. D. Morton

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

From Bro. Morton.

Bro. WHITE: Permit me to say to the brethren that organization has proved a blessing to the church in this place. We organized last winter, with seventeen members, and we now number thirty-two. The church are being more and more united, and I hope the time is not far distant when every jar and discord will be done away from among God's people, and we be a building fitly framed together, an holy habitation of God through the Spirit. I fully believe that organization is the plan that God has chosen to unite the hearts of his people, and better fit them to engage in the great work that is before us. And when we are fully united in this plan as a people, we shall be prepared to work more effectually for the young in our midst.

The Lord has heard the prayers of his people in this place, and has moved upon the hearts of some of the young to take hold of the truth. Ten have taken a decided stand on the side of truth. May the Lord help them to hold out unto the end. We hope the rest of the young here, and not here only, but throughout the remnant church, may see the importance of taking hold of this work in earnest, and with right motives, that God may be glorified and they secure eternal life. And while the servants of God bear the strait testimony, we will endeavor so to live as not to get between it and them, but with our prayers and good examples help lead them into the truth.

Yours in the blessed hope.

J. D. MORTON.
