Previously unpublished.

Dear Brother Colcord,

Your letter dated June 10 just received. I have read your letter, also your response to the attacks made. I would say, follow your best judgement and if you think best to republish the Word to the Little Flock, publish it by all means. 7LtMs, Lt 90, 1891, par. 1

The last wonderful charge against me is, I have stated Christ was soon to come and it has been years and yet the Lord has not come. Christ the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, [said,] “And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22) verse 12. “Behold, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” [Verse 7.] “And he saith unto me, Seal not the [sayings of the] prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 22:10. 7LtMs, Lt 90, 1891, par. 2

I can write no more for this must go in to the office. 7LtMs, Lt 90, 1891, par. 3
