Beloved Brethren and Friends: --While fan­ned this lovely evening by the pure breeze of heaven and cheered by the green grass and little flowers, yet there is within my soul a peculiar sadness, because so far from the true people of Christ. How it would gladden my heart to see and engage with you in the worship of our God!

A few times on the way here since my ar­rival when much stirred to do so, I have tried to engage in public worship, which sometimes I have been lately deprived of the joys of public worship. Spiritually, I seem almost as if ex­cluded from my beloved brethren, whose asso­ciation I feel so unworthy to enjoy. Pride, in­difference and perversion of truth, chiefly char­acterize the formal worship of this country. I have enquired here for Old School Baptists, but have found none. If anyone knows the location of brethren in Beaver county or Western Kans., please inform me. I long to see and mingle with the humble, truth-loving people of God.

Brethren, though far away, my heart is with you and I want to commend you for your will­ingness to turn away from the many orders or institutions of the world, secret or otherwise.

May you continue ever true to our Divine Hus­band and Saviour, forsaking all others--give up all for Jesus.

The Lord makes us always prompt and loyal in the service of Him who "hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for US."

Your unworthy brother in bonds of affliction and much love.

Tyrone, Okla.        M.D. DENMAN.
