A Church’s Need for Teaching
By S. A. Doud
BRO. WHITE: I feel that it is good for me to acknowledge the goodness of God always. Through his providence, Bro. Byington met with us according to appointment, and found us as a church anxious to hear the word. We feel that there is yet very much for us to learn and the time is short. We were glad to meet with Bro. Byington, as we also were with Bro. Bates, in July last, and learn of them. We thank God that we are remembered. We dearly love our Lord and Saviour, and his servants who teach us the way and the truth; and we love each other. There are as yet no divisions among us. We are pressing “together toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” striving earnestly for the mastery over the world, the flesh and the Devil, that we may not be found wanting in the great day of the Lord. Cannot some brother whose time is not already disposed of, come this winter and teach in Tuscola, Co., those who are desiring to learn of God, his law, and the way to Heaven. There is much need, of such labor. Yours striving to overcome. Vassar, Mich., Oct. 1866.
