Oh, praise God for his glorious blessings upon our soul and body!
Having had no ministerial help, preaching nearly all the time twice
a day, with much altar-work, singing, etc., besides doing one
man's writing keeping the Trumpet filled and attending to a large
correspondence, hymn-writing, etc., it is wonderful, a constant
miracle, how God can do so much through a poor, naturally frail body.
We scarcely get six hours sleep out of twenty-four. Glory to God, we
do love this holy war for our God against the powers of hell and for
the rescue of perishing souls. If the Lord saw fit to keep us working
the whole time day and night, and sustained us, we should say, Amen.
Oh, how glad we were to see the beloved little ones at home once
more! God bless their souls. How grateful we are to God for the
faithful labors of these dear ones. Truly they endure all things for
the elect's sake, that their fingers may send forth the bread of
heaven to the hungry souls. Dear brethren, when you read the Trumpet
so eagerly do not forget to pray for those blessed children who are
so devoted to this great work. We were in hopes that God would give
us the sweet luxury of some nights' rest with the little ones at
home. But lo, here came the dear saints from every direction wishing
Brother Joseph and us to come here and there to preach for them....
When we left our little company we expected to return soon again, but
as the second edition of Songs of Victory is nearly exhausted we have
to remain here to help print the third edition soon.
Praise God, nearly thirty-five hundred books have gone forth singing
the praises of God. May God speed all his flying angels with the
everlasting gospel to this dark and wretched world, so near its awful
doom. Amen.
Brother Warner remained at the Office until early in March, when, by
agreement, he met his little company again at Walkerton, Ind., where
they had held meetings almost a year before. Frankie Miller refers in
her diary to their meeting in Walkerton on the night of their arrival
there.
That night we all met at Brother Barden's to worship God. After
the meeting had nicely begun, in walked Brother Warner. Well, it
is needless to say we were all very thankful to see his dear face
again. He said that this was the second time he had been mobbed.
The first time was by the black mob near Rising Sun. Ohio, and the
second time was this time by the White Horse Cavalry.
Sister Miller also relates an instance of healing that occurred
before they left Walkerton.
