Letters.

By H. F. Baker

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

From Bro. Baker.

BRO. WHITE: I would like to be found among those who “speak often one to another,” when the Lord comes to make up his jewels. I wish to say that my path truly shines “brighter and brighter,” as I am making my way on to the kingdom; striving to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If it did not, I should be wholly at fault; for I enjoy the best of opportunities.

A privilege indeed it is to be engaged in this glorious work, in which heaven and angels take such a deep interest; especially to me at this time, when I can listen to “all the words of this life,” as they are dispensed by the servant of God from day to day, that I may treasure the blessed truths up in my heart, to become sanctified through them, and be ready to “escape all things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Our meetings have been in progress here in Orwell over two Sundays. The attendance has been good all the time; sometimes the tent being filled. The interest appears good. What is a little peculiar, there is a special interest among some who had been most prejudiced by the unhallowed influences at work here. I think the stain will be altogether wiped off the cause in this section. Bro. Waggoner has pursued a very judicious course, one best adapted to secure that very desirable result.

May the Lord get him glory, by raising up a people here, who shall “purify themselves even as He is pure,” lift up the standard of truth and holiness, and let their light so shine before men that they may see their good works, and glorify their Father who is in heaven. This is my prayer; and this is the object of our labors.

H. F. BAKER.
