I am glad you are able to go on with the weekly remembrance of the Lord’s death, and with the Sunday school too. It is a great privilege, and if there is faithfulness and devotedness to the Lord, His blessing will attend and follow.
... The Lord allows us to be tried in one way and another in our path here, for good and wise purposes, for He always keeps in view His purpose of final blessing. So our trials will end, and the blessings, full and eternal, will abide. Nothing can hinder His purposed blessing. The knowledge of this is a present comfort to our hearts amid the trials, and whatever the path may be we can always rejoice in the Lord.
We have been finding our stay here a mercy to us in the way of health, while the brethren are very happy to have us with them for a while.
