CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends,--Be faithful in the service of God, and mind the Lord's
business, and be diligent, so will the power of the Lord be brought over
all those that have gainsayed it. And all ye that are faithful, go to
visit them that have been convinced, from house to house, that if it be
possible ye may not leave a hoof in Egypt [Exod 10:26]. And so, every
one go seek the lost sheep, and bring him home on your backs to the
fold, and there will be more joy of that one sheep than the ninety and
nine in the fold [Mat 18:12f, Luke 5:4-7]. . . .  . . .
