MY DEAR BROTHER, I rejoice to hear so good an account of the work of God and of my dear friends Mr. and Mrs. 'Smith. I believe I shall send you a man after your own heart, a stanch, sensible, solid man, and one that I trust is a living witness of the grand Christian doctrine. Our little books you should spread wherever you go. Reading Christians will be knowing Christians. My health (blessed be God) is perfectly restored. I am Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":96,"source_url":null,"themes":["christology","justifying-grace","assurance"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:13:01.870800"}]}
