DEAR SAMMY, - I am glad to hear that your people love one another: then neither Mr. nor Mr. can hurt them. They may make a bustle and a noise for a season; but it will be only a nine days' wonder. If you take up your cross, and visit all the Societies, whenever you have time, from house to house, their profiting will appear to all men; and none will be able to stand against you. Take a little pains likewise, both Brother Shadford George Shadford, his superintendent at Norwich. and you, in recommending the Magazine. Urge it from love to me and to the preachers; and whatever you do do it with your might. - I am, dear Sammy, Yours affectionately. PS.-Everywhere exhort the believers to expect full salvation now by simple faith.","word_count":143,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","social-holiness","justifying-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:15:48.674324"}]}
