[p. 233] MY DEAR —, — ... I do, indeed, thank the Lord for His grace to us both, in keeping us walking in the same path, and enjoying the same precious and holy things. So that I think we can both in measure say that we see more of the greatness of Christ and of all that stands in relation to Him than we did forty years ago. I thank God, too, that He has showed us both so much mercy even as to our bodies. Little did I think when I came to — in October, 1892, that such a long period of life here remained to me! And you have been wonderfully restored to be able to do what you have done. It is, indeed, a favour to be left here to learn and to grow, in this wonderful formative period. For my part I am conscious that formation goes on very slowly, but I desire to wait on God continually, and to give more place to the Spirit, that the inward moulding after Christ may be more effectively wrought....
May the Lord greatly bless you, and fill your heart with the wealth of the inheritance! Still pray for me as I do for you.
Most affectionately yours in Him,
