I think Mr. _Bell_ is willing to take any advice you think proper to
give him. I repeat what I said before: they that seek dissension, are
not friends to the work of God. I trust you labour for peace, and the
God of peace shall be with you always.
I daily give up all to Jesus, and have no sacrifice to make, which is
not offered up already. He gives me strength for all he calls me to
bear: and I find it easy for the love which _believes_, to _endure all
things_.
May the God whom you serve bless your labours with great success! I
wish you good luck in his name. The weapons of your warfare are mighty
through him: you need not fight uncertainly, as one that beateth the
air, but prove in every circumstance, _This is the victory, even our
faith_. Continue to shew your care over me, by reproving and advising
me as you judge needful. I am sensible of all my obligations to you,
and am,
_Dear Sir_,
_Your obliged and affectionate Servant_.
SOME ACCOUNT
OF
THE EXPERIENCE
OF
E. J.
1. FOR many years I had a desire to love God, and thought I could
submit to be of any sect or denomination, if this would bring me nearer
to him: only rejecting the name of a _Methodist_. For I thought them
to be a deluded people, and the off scouring of the earth. I was in
this temper, when I heard a Minister preach on _All mine are thine,
and thine are mine_. It came to my heart, and I found such a measure
of happiness, as I never had done before. But having none to strengthen
my hands, or build me up, it gradually died away.
