Your excellent letterEditorial Note: See 194.32.025. just read. Can I thank God enough for the joy it gave? Can you realize the angel's rejoicing? I could fancy I heard the rustle of their wings as I wiped the tears of gratitude and love from my eyes, and looked upward! Oh! dear one it is quite certain that God has been leading you and bringing you through paths that I have trodden into His fold. The cup He has given us to drinkMatt 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; , He drank, giving thanks. Now you see why, and the love of our Father in all that you have experiencedAs Written: experiend .

It was indeed a test of good nature for you to bear what you did, as you did, from Mr. Frye's peculiarities that I have to meet daily. But sweet are the lessons that wean us from all material illusion and attach us to the spiritual realities- that we all must attain, and hard, or more easily just according to our willingness to let go our faith and affection for the unreal.

Now I know that God will make your garner fullPs 144:13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: for the blessing does come when we are ready to receive it and use it and not abuse it.

I am more than thankful for your last picture well defined of noble, brave, christian footsteps, which are the footsteps of the flock, and I know it is the Father's good will to give you the kingdomLuke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. – the reign of meekness patience and love in your heart

Ever lovingly yours
