JUNE, 1899

I am very glad to send you a few lines in regard to the meetings here (Quemerford). I can say I am thankful for it, though I do not think that it has been marked by any great display of power, but we were helped of the Lord, and the bulk have gone away brighter than they came. I think Mr. Reynolds was pretty much on the line of practical piety, and maintained that, until we had in spirit passed the judgment-seat, we had not much entrance into privilege. My main point lay between our instruction in divine love, in connection with discipline, purging and the like down here, and our touching the scene where love can rest because all is according to the divine glory. The readings were fresh, and turned mainly on divine teaching and the true place of the Scriptures. There seemed pretty hearty fellowship all through.

(The following note and letter from Dr. van Someren are inserted, being relevant to the three subsequent letters. — ED.)
