Dear Brother Gilbert Collins,—

I should be glad to hear something in regard to your case. We have remembered you in our prayers, both in the large tent and privately. I had hoped to receive ere this some word regarding how you are; for I have a deep interest in you. Please let us know how you are. We feel that the Lord is good and merciful. He does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men. 20LtMs, Lt 157, 1905, par. 1

My brother, may the Lord give you His rich blessing. This is what you need. He will not let your light go out in darkness, but will let His light shine upon you. May He give you clear judgment and an abiding sense of His love. I will continue to present your case before Him. I ask you to rest yourself wholly in His hands. 20LtMs, Lt 157, 1905, par. 2
