Remember me and mine at the throne of our common Lord; when you think of us, think of us kindly. Good-bye.

WILLS AT PERRY.

PERRY, MICH., March 4, 1889.

BROTHER WILLS,—Your banners and explanations have made the way to live plainer than it ever was before. I can not tell how much good you have done us.

May God bless you in your noble work of bringing souls to Christ!

MR. AND MRS. JAMES SUMMERS.

PERRY, MICH., March 2, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER WILLS,-We feel as though we never could pay you for the lessons you have taught us. These lessons have opened our eyes to see ourselves as God sees us.

Those banners have taught us more about the Bible than we ever heard in all our lives before, and we have been taught it from infancy.

We want you to always remember us in your prayers. May the Lord ever bless you with an

abundant harvest, and a crown with many shin

ing stars! Ever yours,

MR. AND MRS. GEORGE HASKIN.

Perry, Mich., March 3, 1889.

BROTHER WILLS,-Your coming to Perry has shown me just where I stood; your Bible-lessons have been a great help to me.

May our God bless you and your dear wife every day you live! is the earnest prayer of your humble sister in Christ,

MR. H. O. WILLS:

MRS. BELLA C. West.

PERRY, MICH., March 4, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER,-You have been the instrument in God's hands of saving my soul. And I pray that the spirit of the Holy Ghost may rest and abide with you and yours forever and forever. I have started out to serve Christ, and am determined, by God's help, to at last gain a home in heaven. Pray for me.

Yours in Christ,

LILLIAN DALRYMPLE.

PERRY, MICH., March 22, 1889.

DEAR BROTHER WILLS,—O, I am so thank

ful that you came here and brought your ban

ners, you have done so much for myself, wife, and boy. We never saw the light as we see it to-day. Brother Wills, please carry the news to Vernon that Hiram Hosmer and wife have come out on the side of the Lord. It may be the means of helping to bring some poor soul to God, for I lived in Vernon twelve years.

May God ever bless you and your good wife!
MARY A. HOSMER.

WILLS AT LUZERNE.

LUZERNE, MICH., March 14, 1888.

DEAR BROTHER,-Accept this offering from a sister in Christ, if she is a washer-woman, for the good you have done in Luzerne. May God bless and keep you!

MRS. JOHN SMEAD.

FLINT, MICH.

DEAR BROTHER WILLS,─Please accept this from a washer-woman. My heart and hands are with you in your glorious work. God bless you. Remember me in your prayers.

MY DEAR FRIEND IN THE LORD (for I verily

believe you are a child of the Lord),—I write you

a few lines. I am quite well in the body, and much better in the spirit of the Lord than I was when you left here. Tell my wife the Lord is with me night and day. Bless the Lord! I have a few things to confess to God and the Church and all the people, which have been hidden in my heart for eighteen years. No one knew of them but God and myself.

The

Eighteen years ago, this spring, there were five children sick with the scarlet fever; they all died except one, a boy. That boy had a good Christian mother, and she, no doubt, offered up many a prayer, and shed many tears, so that God would save her little boy from death. father of this little boy was a sinful man, though, sinful as he was, he prayed to the Almighty God, and made a solemn promise that if God would save his child's life, he would serve him all the rest of his days. The boy lived, and is alive to-day. The father is the one who is writing to you, and the mother is my dear Christian wife. I have been afraid many times that God would cut me down like Ananias and Sapphira. I have kept back part of the price. This will be news to my wife, as I never told her of the promise I

made God. How good the Lord has been to spare me till the present time! His spirit has been striving with me all these years, and I would not yield to it until now. What a wonderful and most merciful God he is! O, brother, I can't praise him enough! I hope and pray that this letter I am writing to you, if you read it to the people where you go, will bring some poor wanderer back to his Father's house. It is my desire, if you see fit and think it is proper, that you should read this letter to the people of Sandy Hill. I want the world to know how good God is to his children, and how good he has been to me and my family. See how he has spared me! I believe it is for some good purpose. The Lord has many ways to bring about his work and his will among the children of men. I hope the steps I have taken, and my prayers, may be the means of turning many poor sinners to God. Not that I have done any good myself, but it is God's Spirit working in me. I can say truly that Jesus Christ, the Lord, is in my soul this blessed morning, making me do his will. I find many blessed promises in his holy Word to sustain and keep me. I am sixty-four years old in the
