MY DEAR BROTHER,--It is nothing strange that those who love the world should not love to continue with us. Our road is too strait.
Down the stream of nature driven,
They seek a broader path to heaven.
However, let us keep in the good old way; and we know it will bring us peace at the last.
If you press all the believers to go on to perfection and to expect deliverance from sin every moment, they will grow in grace. But if ever they lose that expectation, they will grow flat and cold.
Last week I was under the surgeon’s hands; but am now (blessed be God) better than I have been for some years.--I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
