Dear Brethren Magan and Sutherland,—

This morning I received your cheering letter, written before you had received my response to your former communication. I cannot write much for I am not very well. I have not much strength to endure the heat of the weather. But I would say to you, Be of good courage in the Lord. He has wrought for you in the past, and He will continue to prepare the way before you. I cannot but feel assured that you have found the very place in which to begin your school work. 16LtMs, Lt 89, 1901, par. 1

I am so glad that the paper you mention has advertized Christ’s Object Lessons. Go right ahead and do your best. Have faith in God at every step. Talk faith, act faith. Then you will reveal that faith which works by love and purifies the soul. Do not let any words which may be spoken discourage you. God lives and reigns. 16LtMs, Lt 89, 1901, par. 2

I am too brain-weary to write more now. 16LtMs, Lt 89, 1901, par. 3
