remembered by myself and family. God is your guide and protector in your good work.

Your brother,

JOHN I. MACKEY.

Owosso, MICH., Dec. 16, 1889.

BROTHER H. O. WILLS,-I thank God and you for the truths you have spoken, and of the many things you have shown us in the Bible. I love my Bible, but the light I have received by your lessons makes it seem doubly dear.

If we never meet again on this earth, I want to live so as to meet in heaven.

O, pray for me as I will pray for myself!

With respect,

MRS. ELLEOI STUART.

Owosso, MICH.

BROTHER WILLS, Those Bible-lessons you

gave have been a great help to me. May God Bless you for your labors in South Owosso!

Yours truly,

MRS. S. R. HORNER.

MR. H. O. WILLS:

FLUSHING, MICH., Feb. 8, 1889.

DEAR SIR,-I can not find words to express my heart-felt thanks for the good you have been

to me, through this revival. God has sent you to do his work; and through you, by the help of God, I am saved.

Please accept my offering, which is the ironwork on your banner-pole, and twenty-five cents. I hope, with God's help, never to forget your goodness to me.

THOMAS MCKENZIE, Blacksmith.

FLUSHING, MICH., Feb. 9, 1889.

BROTHER AND SISTER,-I can not express myself in your behalf. You have brightened our home and cheered our hearts, and taught us many good lessons, which we are all thankful for. Please remember us in your prayers.

Yours truly,

ANNA ROOT.

MR. WILLS,—I write you these few lines to tell you that I have enjoyed the meetings very much. I think your banners and the lesson they taught us are very wonderful, and I shall never forget them.

I did not exactly like your ways when I first heard you speak; but after the first prayer-meet

ing I attended, I changed my mind, and did not notice your way of speaking. I did get angry at things you said, and I knew you meant me, because I thought I deserved it; and you speaking to us three girls as you did, showed me just where I stood and what my duty was, and I thank you for it. Yours respectfully,

ALLIE INGHAM.

DEAR SIR, I am very grateful to you for your seeming harshness, as I know this was the means by which I was shown that I was standing on very dangerous ground. May God ever bless you! Yours sincerely,

NETTIE PHELPS.

FLUSHING, MICH, Feb. 10, 1889.

DEAR MR. WILLS,-I am so glad and thankful that I have known you.

I know that I needed just such harsh words as you have spoken, to show me where I stood. In all the things that you have said, that which

touched me the most, was when you said that "we were spitting in God's face." I saw myself then as I never did before. Again I thank you, and that God may ever bless you and your wife, will be my earnest prayer.

Your faithful friend,

JENNIE BENHAM.

FLUSHING, MICH., Feb. 10, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER WILLS,-For a long time I have been seeking for more love for God's Word, and more power in teaching it, and have been almost in despair because I have not gained what I sought.

I can not thank God enough that he sent you to teach me how to feed on the Word. I can never forget it, for my Bible is marked, "H-O-W to find the bread of life," "H-O-W-to be filled with power," and so on through all the lessons you have given us. I know I shall be more meet for his use through the help you have given me, and I shall strive to pass it on to all within my reach.

May God ever keep you and your good wife full of his love! LIZZIE KENT.

FLUSHING, MICH., Feb. 10, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER,-Inclosed is a small token from a heart which would willingly give more if I had it at hand. If it had been a week later, I could have done better. I have all your banners, for they have all taught me a blessed lesson, which I shall never forget.

If I chance to meet you again, I will make up to you for the good you have done for me. I shall never forget you or Mrs. Wills, and am very sorry you are going away.

I wish you could stay all this week, but friends must part. I thank you sincerely for what you have taught me, and remain,

Yours truly,

MRS. ANNA Graves.

Flushing. From the Pastor of First Baptist Church.

DEAR Brother and Sister WILLS,—I shall ever thank God for these few days that have brought us together in Christian work. I have learned to love you dearly during this short time, because I see in you the love of Jesus. There are family features that mark you as one of my Father's children.
