MY DEAR JANE, --I shall try to do as you request. I have a list of names--sons of godly parents--who are still 'far off,' for whom I pray from time to time that they may be 'brought nigh by the blood of Christ,' led by the Holy Spirit. I shall put --'s name into the number. Pray for me and mine. Tell our great High Priest how 'poor and needy' we are, and ask Him to 'think upon us.' With kindest regards to Robert, --Your affectionate uncle, ANDREW A. BONAR. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/andrew-bonar/letters-mrs-r-m-ballantyne-his-niece-harrow-on-the-hill-1/ ========================================================================
