self. I can say that I thank God for sending you to Chelsea; for it has brought me nearer to my Lord and Master than ever before; and may God give you strength to preach the gospel according to his Word, which I know you do, as I have followed you through all your Scriptural lessons.

May God bless you! Please accept this small offering from your friends,

BYRON AND MATILDA WIGHT.

CHELSEA, APRIL 14, 1889.

TO MY BELOVED BROTHER, H. O. Wills, who led me a sinner from the path of sin to the path of righteousness, and brought comfort to our earthly home: I pray that God may reward him in heaven, and that we may all meet in that new Jerusalem.

JOHN R. THOMAS.

CHELSEA, MICH.

BROTHER WILLS,-I do believe you are a sincere, true Christian, and that good has and will attend your work here in Chelsea, and that it will continue to bear fruit after you are gone.

I like your pictures and plan of working. You have done me and my family good; and if I may say a word, it would be, Hurl as much Scripture at the wrong-doer as you can; put it on thicker and faster and more of it. "Thus saith the Lord God." But do n't waste one precious moment scolding them. It is not right to hold it against them when Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Yours truly,

E. L. FREER.

God bless you and crown you with success!

MR. H. O. WILLS:

DEAR BROTHER,-I am sure that one who is so zealous in the cause of our Master as yourself will hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant," at the last great day.

WILLS AT SAUGATUCK.

JULY 13, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER,-You gave us envelopes to fill with good news; and we do jointly agree with God to hold you up to the throne of grace, that you may continue on, and become such a servant for God that you can bring souls to him by the thousands, with your banners and the way you have explained God's Word to us.

May

We have looked into our hearts, and have seen the dark corners that were there, and by God's help we are willing to obey his laws. Brother, you have done us a wonderful sight of good, and it is through faith that we do believe that God has chosen you as a teacher. our Heavenly Father bless you, and put into your mouth words sharper than a two-edged sword, that may send the truth home to the poor sinner's heart; and that he will give up and do as we have done, and say, "Father, be merciful to me, a sinner."

May God be with you and bless you! is our prayer. Amen.

MR. AND MRS. J. D. MYERS.
