WM. T. HINTON

From Bro. Hinton.

BRO. WHITE: I would say to my brethren and sisters scattered abroad that I still love the narrow way. I am still striving to overcome desiring to meet them all in the Heavenly kingdom. I believe, that it will not be long, if we are faithful, before we shall be able to realize more than our poor hearts can even now desire. We are not left in darkness and doubts to stumble along through life's journey. No, no, God has described all our pathway. He has made sure waymarks that we can know our whereabouts. One of these waymarks is the peace and safety cry which we can hear all over our land, though war and bloodshed is in our midst.
Oh is it not time that we who profess to be getting ready for the return of our absent Lord and for translation into that holy kingdom should gird on the whole armor that we may stand against all the fiery darts of the enemy. I long to be of that company which the Psalmist describes when he says, "Great peace have they that love thy law and nothing shall offend them." Ps. cxix, 165.
Dear brethren, pray for me. I have many trials to contend with, as I travel the journey alone.
Yours striving to overcome.
