Dear Dr. Kellogg,—

I have the most intense interest that yourself and your brother Willie Kellogg shall walk and work in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Willie Kellogg has need of giving himself wholly to God while the Spirit of God invites him. 16LtMs, Lt 219, 1901, par. 2

“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” This invitation was given by Jesus Christ. “In that last great day of the feast” Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.” [John 7:37.] This scene enacted before the people was a symbol in commemoration of the Lord Jesus’ bringing water from the rock during the desert journeyings. In the seventh chapter of John our Lord blends the two thoughts: “I,” says Christ, “am that living rock; I am that living water.” 16LtMs, Lt 219, 1901, par. 3
