Mr. J. H. Harris,
Belpre O.
Dear Friend:-- While a few spare moments present themselves I will employ them in this way. I have just returned from Y.P.C.U.and preaching. Mrs. Slotterbeck (Abe's mother) was buried today so preaching was put off until tonight at Hermon. Our Y.P.C.U. was at 6:30 and preaching at 7:30.
This was consecration evening and twenty-one of the twenty-eight members were present. The subject was "What Christ Heals and How." We had quite a good meeting, almost every one seemed to enjoy it.
Bro. Hamisfar then gave an interesting address on"The purpose of Christ's coming." Aunt Fanny was there in her old place and her very presence seemed to inspire those around her.
Yesterday Alva, Nellie and the children went to Pennsville. Ottie came out and he and I kept house once more in the old home.
If I could have rearranged a few things, and blotted the past year from my memory I would have thought I was living back on the farm at work for Mother.
We laughed and talked over old-time memories and could not help thinking of the many happy times that had been spent with loved ones in this old home. How much of our lives is made up in reviewing the past and anticipating the future. It seems that it in regard to "A state of Christian grace" as you mentioned it had never entered my mind. How wonderful it seems that while everything else has been advancing and changing, Christ's teachings are the same that they were eighteen hundred years ago.
I am sure we will be glad to see you back home once more.
I gladly send those references.
I again ask an interest in your prayers.
Your friend,
Bertha Lambert
is so hard to realize what the present is to us. I believe the thought
