MY DEAR BROTHER,-Now is the very time wherein you should earnestly exhort the believers to go on to perfection. Those of them that hunger and thirst after righteousness will keep their ground; the others will lose what God has wrought. You may certainly give a note to the serious house-keeper tin you can do more. I look upon that very common custom to be neither better nor worse than murder. I would no more take a pillow from under the head of a dying person than I would put a pillow upon his mouth. - I am Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":110,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","works-piety","sanctifying-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:21:33.058227"}]}
