MY DEAR SISTER, Your letters are always pleating to me, as is the writer of them. I hope Mr. Harmer's preaching in the church will have many good effects. He will prepare the way for Brother Wolfe and his two fellow laborers; all alive to God, simple of heart and of one heart and mind, without any jarring string. And I suppose, by the addition of a third preacher, you will have a traveling preacher every other Sunday. You will love Sister Wolfe: she is an amiable creature, and has done good to the children here. We have made a little beginning for poor Brother Westrup, which I hope will be some encouragement for others. Walk in the narrowest path of the narrow way, and the Spirit of glory and of Christ shall rest upon you. I am, my very dear sister, Yours affectionately.","word_count":152,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","catholic-spirit","universal-redemption"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:07:34.364758"}]}
