This is not the only case we have heard of, the Lord be thanked; and add their number. Let us, therefore, trust in the living God, and in His spreading the truth from soul to soul. "The wind bloweth where it listeth." Let us seek, if permitted, to widen out our fellowship with God's dear saints, that the truth may be spread in God's way. Let confidence in the Press give way to confidence in God--in God's promises-prayer in the name of Jesus, the Word of His grace, fellowship of saints, the teaching of the Spirit.

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
