H. O. W., This poor old pen of mine can never write and tell you what blessings I have received in the last four weeks from your teaching, and my prayer will forever be that you may always have success in teaching the love of Christ to sinners.

From one that loves Christ,

MRS. SCHULTZ.

BROTHER WILLS,-Preach plain, be in ear

nest; it is through your earnestness that I have

been brought out of darkness into light.

Taffy is good, but it will not save souls. May God bless your work, is the prayer of

D. A. OCTell.

LANSING, MICH.

DEAR BROTHER WILLS,-I want to criticise a little. I think you give the rich man a little too much praise for doing part of his duty. I know one poor woman in particular-an earnest Christian (and there are others not far behind her)—that has a drunkard for a husband, and he opposes her in everything that is good. She has been to the meetings nearly every night, and every five-cent piece she gives would cover Bement's check so that you could n't see the corners sticking out from under it.

Go on, Brother Wills; you are doing a glorious work. I stood by you the first night you came to Lansing, and am going to stand by you till the last night, and then keep right on fighting the devil, whether he is in the Church or in the saloon.

Praise the Lord! I am a poor man, and this campaign has cost me more than ten dollars, but I feel it is well laid out in this grand work. Glory to God!

The Lord be with you wherever you go. Praise his holy name!

Your brother in Christ Jesus, now and for-
ADDISON CHILDS.

ever,

BROTHER AND SISTER WILLS,-I send a small offering, not as a recompense for what you have done for me, for money or words can not express what I owe to you. to you. You have taught me the way of life more perfectly than I ever knew it before, and may God reward you with his choicest blessings! Your banners have been very instructive to me. If I had the means I would like to give, as an offering to you, the price of the banner representing the human heart. It is indelibly written on memory's pages, and it has shown me the sinfulness of my heart as I never saw it before, and has taught me what I must overcome if I would be acceptable in God's sight. May God help you to present it to others, that it may lead many to Christ!

From your friend,

SARAH RANSOM.

WILLS AT EAST SAGINAW.

EAST SAGINAW, Dec. 19, 1888.

DEAR BROTHER Wills,—I have not written Brother Carnalia; stand by your colors, and God will give you the victory.

Grant said to his men: "Forward, march!

Forward, march! Forward, foward!" He never allowed anything to stop him-cannons, bombs, grape-shot, fire, water, storms, death, groans, suffering all the same, forward. You have got Christ with you, and God bless you. You have got the stuff, sand.

I would like to go, but can not; it is impossible; so many things to do to close up the year. In haste. G. W. STEVENS.

EAST SAGINAW, MICH., Feb. 18, 1889. DEAR BROTHer Wills,—I noticed by the papers that you thumped the whey out of some dirty dog on the street-car, who was persecuting you. Glory to God! I am glad to know that there is one minister who, if necessary, will fight to defend the religion of our blessed Savior.

Men take up arms and shoot the enemies of our country and government like dogs. People are not allowed to persecute any country, government, or nation. If they do, they must suffer. The devil in this Dalton, whom you licked, got beat with his own weapons. Now, do n't worry about this. Any Christian man on God's universe will say you did right; you defended the relig

ion of Jesus Christ, and God loves you better for it.

If you will lick the devil out of some more such cattle, they will leave you alone, and in doing it you are defending your profession against the onslaughts of the dirty devils that are in men.

Glory to God! go in, old boy. Do n't weaken. They would put you back in the gutter if they could, and then jeer and laugh at you. If you are fined, draw on me for the money. In haste. Your brother, G. W. STEVENS.

WILLS AT OWOSSO.

MR. H. O. WILLS:

Owosso, MICH., Dec. 16, 1889.

BROTHER,-Your meetings were highly appreciated by myself and family.

I regret that you are about to leave us; you have explained the Word of God in such a manner that there can be no excuse for either the old or the young to misunderstand it.

I wish to God there were more men like yourself and Brother Stewart. You will long be
