“Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another, and the Lord hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon. His name.” Malachi 3:26.
How sweet in one’s work today is the communion of the saints of God. How one values it! As with the Old Testament saints, so with us―we can “speak often one to another” concerning the Lord and His work in us, and in the world around us. Our hearts can dwell in mutual wonder on His surpassing love to sinners, and the grace that brings the vilest to Himself—that brought us; and of the love that keeps, and allows us to work for Him. We can speak of our joys and our sorrows, and the Lord hearkens and hears and never forgets. We are one in Christ.
Twenty-Seven Years Ago.
Beloved Brother, Twenty-seven years ago the Lord gave me a son, and last week He called him home. It is a sore trial. He was Ty youngest son, beloved by who knew him.... He was kind, affectionate and obedient, and had entwined himself closely to my heart, but I feel the Lord had need of him, and so He took him home. It is hard to part with those we love, but the dear Lord has been very precious to us in this trial.... Among his things was a 5/-Postal Order which he had got to send to you, so I have enclosed it with mine, praying to the Lord to bless your work and labor in the Lord. ―Yours affectionately in Him, ―
At Home with The Lord.
Dear Dr. Wreford, I have not forgotten your work of love for our blessed Lord, and thank Him for sparing you to carry on the work while others have been taken home to be with Him they have loved and served for so many years. We do miss my dear husband in the meeting for his help and deep teaching being so deeply taught in the word. He was the last of the old brothers we had when we came here forty-three years ago, when he passed away. I am sending you the last £1 he had by him in money at the time of his death, for your work to spread the blessed news. So sorry you were unable to attend the Conference. My son and I were there; we trust Mrs.
Wreford is better. ―Yours affectionately in Christ, ―
Our September Number.
Beloved Dr. Wreford, It is a most precious monthly magazine and becomes more, and more, and more so to my soul as the day’s go by. It contains such a full gospel with needful warnings against the blasphemous doctrines which are published and spreading everywhere our gracious Father has put it into the hands of one of His weak members to make known broadcast these evil doctrines. My earnest prayer goes up that blessing, as never before, may fall upon the unsaved through the issue of the September number of “A Message from God.” Thank you indeed for giving us the history of dear Miss Leakey’s earliest days. I more than once longed to write, and get particulars of get early training. How blessed to have had such a godly mother... She is so sweet; God bless our aged sister yet more and more in all things, and in all ways, and you too, dear Doctor, in your days of weakness, for the way in which you are able to bring before us the “Message” and the “Circular” of the Testament and Tract Fund... Please Doctor add the enclosed to the circulation of God’s precious Word among the dear children or elsewhere, Much love in Him, who loves us and gave Himself for us. ― Yours,
