Not Forsakem In Old Age
My dear Brother Knill, I have thought much of your kindness in sending me such a good and spiritual letter with love-token in it. I have lately had many springings up of life and streams from the River of love when I could have written and thanked you for your kindness, but my bodily infirmities and other things, too many and too peculiar to name, have hindered. It is a mercy for me the Lord has not left me to the powers of the flesh and Satan's wiles, which, at times, have been very trying.

A Brother Beloved
The children of God are all brethren; they are one family, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Father of all who believe in His Son. They are loved, chosen, adopted, called, and manifested by faith in, and fellowship with, the Lord Jesus, who, being bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh as to His human nature, "is not ashamed to call them brethren." And they are brethren beloved—loved and sanctified by the Father, loved and redeemed by the Son, and loved and quickened by the Spirit. They also receive the "Spirit of love,'' which is given to them of God, whose love is shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, whereby they are taught not…
