I went to the office to await the opening of the different As Written: diffirent mails yesterday, but the last mail brought no tidings from you,—your time I know is liable to closely occupied As Written: ocupied, yet we cannot help feeling anxious.—

In your next please let us know as much of what is passing as you in your good judgement think best and your time will allow, Keep up good cheerJohn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. knowing that our MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ who suffered before us, and reached His Immortal Crown hath said this is the way and no man goeth to the Father except in this wayJohn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. __yet He says be of good cheerJohn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. for the works which He did was not of himself but of the FatherJohn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Who had conquered the worldJohn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. through Him and would be with us unto the endMatt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. .

If the party at Lynn does not send the rest of the money to day as I requested them, please send what you have, after deducting your fare and expenses, and accept my grateful thanks for your services until you are better paid
