Beloved Brethren, and Kind Friends:--For the past two days I have been allowed to wor­ship and rejoice with the church at Mt. Tabor, Bastrop Co. I was much edified to see a brother rise in conference and humbly confess his wrongs. Such fruit is to the glory of God and brings prosperity to the church.

These brethren and sisters are humble, spiritual, and enjoying peace with God, and with one another. Their pastor, Brother P. T. Watson, was kept from the last service suffering from Lagrippe. May our Lord restore this dear brother to health, and bless his labors of love to the continued obedience and peace of the church,

During the services among these brethren, we were blessed with the precious love of God felt in our hearts. Near the close of the last service by suggestion of a brother, we followed the apostolic example of giving "the right hand of fellowship" and encouragement, It brings grief to separate from brethren and sisters so sound and faithful. May God greatly bless you dear brethren and make each member yet more humble and obedient.

Since we are all weak and liable to be led away with error, let us beware lest we fall from our "steadfastness" in faith and practice. II Pet. iii. 17. Let us try to more humbly obey our Lord, and abide in His love. We will not go far in review of the past month or year till we shall find some wrong which should be obediently confessed to our good and to God's glory. Then let us obey the Lord. Oh, brethren, do confess your faults one to another and forsake them. God bless you.

Your unworthy brother in love, Bastrop, Tex.         M.D. DENMAN.
