my y brethren elders hearties Heert Heer jea ties and Krumper krumperman mav we have nave distributed thousand thou sandi d of tracts but the people in general have no desire w whatever to investigate the principles of ebern al life they aro are as cold as ice our meetings are well advertised but IV very cry few strangers have come of late I 1 suppose on account of the summer season when people think more of on the sabbath day than to go to church ora meeting to hear bear a servant ef god the sabbath is better kept in ih england than in this country owing to ta the sunday law which we do not have lave here all day on sunday the grogshops shops are open all places of pleasure are in lull full blast theatres are open at night and they arc are filled to their utmost capacity an and d the churches chur chee are re empty the nearer we come to the day of tho the coming of the son of man the further are ara people departing from god they all see the great judgments of god being poured out upon the nat nations 0 no of tho the earth and are trembling with fear and dreading the days which are coming corning but instead of humbling themselves before their creator and asking him to give them the holy spirit that they might receive receive corn com fort from him they begin to say where is god he banot a just and a long suffering god for if he ie is our creator why does he treat us like this instead of blessing us and they begin to say ay there is no god they say we have prayed so much but he doea does not bear hear us not thinking that thel they themselves have departed frum

burely they have fore him the fountain of living waters fur for they ivill will not drink from that fountain they will not acknowledge that god gives revelations to guide and warn his people they reject those chosen men of god when they come in the na name e odthe of the lord saying thus said saith the lord they declare they are nie base impostors and therefore they must be swept from the
