Notwithstanding that we believe we have the ---rdinars of the love of God existing in our --- body, yet (as is common to all Churches at ---) we have some points of difficulty now before us, but we hope that we shall dispose of them in a manner calculated to give satisfaction to all.  We have regular preaching and at time we have some quite interesting revivals, though no special revivals, but we hope to continue praying until God may pour out a blessing upon us. We wish to continue a correspondence with you hoping that the brethren of your church will visit us as often as is convenient. We further hope that you will remember us in your prayer at a Throne of Grace that we may thereby have the prayers of the people of God in our behalf. Farewell for the puraste. May heaven protect you, be Jesus your guide and may we all meet in Heaven. Amen Oliver Holmes  END OF DOCUMENT File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/lenoir/history/other/pleasant99ms.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ncfiles/ File size: 1.9 Kb
