    Previously unpublished.

    Dear Sister Lane:

    I write to acknowledge your donation of ten dollars. I thank you for this remembrance of me. We hope by the blessing of God to attend the next General Conference, and to meet our friends again, whom we have ever loved in the Lord. May the Lord bless you and strengthen you to do His will at all times. We feel so thankful that there are a few of the old hands and hearts who can testify as did John, “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you, that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.)” [1 John 1:1, 2.]15LtMs, Lt 114, 1900, par. 1

    We are to hold the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end. The friends of the truth are friends of each other. By the golden links of love they are bound with one another and with Christ, earnestly laboring for the highest good of one another.15LtMs, Lt 114, 1900, par. 2

    Even in this world of sorrow, disappointment, and sin, the Lord desires us to be cheerful and strong in His strength. Why? Because by our cheerfulness we show the joy of Christ and the power of His redeeming grace. Thus we bear a practical testimony to the efficacy of the atoning sacrifice made in our behalf. By faith in Christ as our personal Saviour, we reveal the purifying influences of the Holy Spirit. We bear witness by our life that the truth is a power unto the sanctification of the soul. We eat and assimilate the Word as the bread of life. The Holy Spirit imprints this Word upon our hearts, to be revealed in our characters. Through faith in Christ we gain victory after victory over human nature, and come off more than conquerors through Him who hath loved us. The Lord desires every soul to triumph in the keeping power of the Redeemer. If we adhere firmly to the truth and do those things which He has enjoined, we shall not err in faith and doctrine. The Lord is good. Praise His holy name!15LtMs, Lt 114, 1900, par. 3

    I thank you once more for your favor and remembrance of me.15LtMs, Lt 114, 1900, par. 4

    Your sister in Christ.15LtMs, Lt 114, 1900, par. 5
