NOVEMBER 5TH, 1897

MY DEAR —, — I was very pleased to have your letter, as I have often thought of you, and wondered how you were getting on. The Lord be praised for all His saving and keeping grace! And may we have increasing confidence in His unbounded love!

His love has taken everything into account, and by His death He has removed from before the eyes of God everything about us that was unsuited to divine light and love, so that we might be near to Him as those whom He has “sanctified” and “perfected for ever” by His one offering, and thus free to know and enjoy the love which is the source of all our blessing.

I trust the Lord may draw you, and keep you, as you seek to walk in His ways, and give you the knowledge of His will and pleasure. It is a very blessed thing to be here only to please Him, and it makes many things simple which might otherwise be perplexing.

I am glad you are desiring to be with those who eat the Lord’s supper in remembrance of Him. I trust you will go forward in everything that is according to His mind, without fear, and sustained by the consciousness of His love!

Yours affectionately in Him,

November 5th, 1897.
