All the faithful, with rapture, behold
There the righteous forever, shall sine as the stars
In that beautiful City of Gold.

Every lamb we have brought to the fold
Shall be kept as bright jewels our crowns to adorn
In that beautiful City of Gold.

We shall fight the devil till we reach the goal
Then we will sing our Redeemer's power to save

6. Handwritten: "A Copy of A Letter From Jesus Christe [sp].
"And found eighteen miles from Iconium sixty-five years after our blessed Saviour's
crucifixion, transmitted from the holy city by a converted Jew; faithfully translated from
the original Hebrew, copy now in possession of the Lady Cuba's family at
Mesopotamia. This letter was written by Jesus Christ and found under a great stone
both round and large at the foot of the cross, eighteen miles from Iconium near a village
called Mesopotamia. Upon that stone was written and engraven [sp], "Blessed Is He
That Shall Turn Me Over." All people that saw it prayed to God earnestly and desired
He would make known to them the meaning of this writing that they might not attempt in
vain to turn it over. In the meantime there came a little child about six or seven years
old and turned it over without help to the admiration of all the people that stood by. And
under this stone was found a letter written by Jesus Christ, which was carried to the city
of Iconium and there published by a person belonging to the Lady Cuba and on the
letter was written The Commandments of Jesus Christ, signed by the Angel Gabriel,
twenty-eight years after our Saviour's birth.
"A Letter of Jesus Christ,
"Whosoever worketh on the Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you to go to
church and keep the Lord's day holy, without doing any manner of work. You shall not
idly misspend your time in bedecking yourselves with superfluities of costly appearal
[sp] and in dresses [unreadable] for I have ordained it a day of rest. I will have that day
kept holy. That your sins may be forgiven you; you shall not break my Commandments,
but observe and keep them, written with my own hand, spoken by my own mouth, You
shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your manservants [sp] and your
maidservants, observe my words and learn my Commandments. You shall finish your
labor every Saturday in the afternoon by six of the clock, at which hour preparation for
the Sabath [sp] begins. I advise you to fast five Fridays in every year, beginning with
the Good Friday and to continue the four Fridays immediately following; in
remembrance of the five bloody wounds I received for all mankind. You shall diligently
and peaceably labor in your respective vocation, wherein it hath pleased God to call
you. You shall love one another with brotherly love and cause them that are not
baptized to come to church and hear the holy sacrament, viz Baptism and the Lord's
Supper, and be made members thereof. In so doing I will give you long life and many
blessings and your land shall replinish [sp] and bring forth abundance; I will give you
many blessings and comfort you in the greatest temptations. And [unreadable] he that
doeth to the contrary shall be cursed and unprofitable. I will also send hardness of
heart upon them till I have destroyed them but specially upon the hardened and
impenitent unbelievers; the that hath given to the poor he shall not be unprofitable.
"Remember to keep holy the Sabath [sp] day for the seventh day I have taken to
myself; and he that shall have a copy of this letter written with my own hand and
spoken with my own mouth, and keep it without [unreadable] it to others shall not
prosper, but he that publish it to others shall be blessed of one, and though his sins be
in number as the starts in the sky; and he that believes in this shall be pardoned and if
he believe not this writing and commandment I will send my plagues upon him, and
consume both him and his children and his cattle; and whosoever shall have a copy of
this letter written with my nad, and keep it in their houses nothing shall hurt them,
neither pestilence, leightning [sp] or thunder shall do them, any husband if a woman be
with child and in labor, a copy of this letter be about her, and she firmly put her trust in
me she shall be safely delivered of her birth. You shall have no news of me but by the
Holy Spirit till the day of Judgement. All goodness and prosperity shall be in the house
where a copy of this letter shall be found.

Their Annual Religious Services at the Christian Church, corner of McIntosh and
Greene Streets, Sunday April 13th, 1890 at 8:00 p.m., Sermon by Chaplain Blackwell.
Invocation. Hymn 609. Stand up! Stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone; The
arm of flesh will fail you - Ye dare not trust your own; Put on the Gospel armor, And,
watching unto pray'r, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. Stand up!
Stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day, the noise of battle; The next,
the victor's song. To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; he with the king of
glory Shall reign eternally! Concert Reading and Song - (Standing). Pastor: Be strong
and of good courage; be not afraid; neither be dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with
thee withersoever thou goest. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free. Cong.: We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Pastor: Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that ye
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, and having done all to stand. Cong.:
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness. Pastor: And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace.
Cong.: Above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked. Pastor: And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God. All Sing: My soul be on thy guard, Ten Thousand foes
arise, The hosts of sin are pressing hard, To draw thee from the skies, Oh watch and
fight and pray; The battle ne'er give o'er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine
implore. Pastor: The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling
down of strong-holds and casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringeth into captivity every thought to the
obedience to Christ. Cong.: In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who
loved us. Pastor: Fight the good fight of faith - lay hold on eternal life. Cong.: He that
hath ears to hear, let him hear - He that overcometh shall inherit all things - and I will
be his God, and he shall be my son. All Sing - Ne'er think the victory won, Nor lay thine
armor down; Thy arduous work will not be done Till thou obtain they crown. Fight on,
my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy God; He'll take thee at thy parting breath, To
His divine abode. Prayer. Solo. Sermon - 'Declaration of Spiritual Independence and
the Revolution Necessary to Achieve it.' Hymn. Life is one continued battle, Ne'er
ended, ne'er o'er; And the Christian's path to glory, Is a conflict evermore. Satan over
watches round him; Seeks to find the weakest part; And in moments most unheeded,
Quickly throws his fiery dart. Chorus: Christian, buckle on thy armor, Let the weak
points strengthened be; Fight thy fight - all heaven shall greet thee In the hour of
vic-to-ry. Benediction."

birthday remembrance and your letter to us. [] Both are greatly appreciated and we
are glad to note your fine spirit in spite of your physical disability. [] We thought about
you this summer and missed your visit. [] Paul, Paul Jr. and wife, our son, Millard, wife
and boy Bobbie and son Alvin and wife were with us on the 22nd. [] Mamie has not
been well lately. Her tonsils need removing but her blood pressure has prevented. []
She is taking rest and dieting for the purpose of getting ready for the operation. []

treatment. [] Referring to the Southall genealogy I gave Uncle John a copy which I
suppose he left with his papers or with Cousin Mollie. [] There were ten or fifteen long

a part. A prominent lawyer of Williamsburg wrote me that there were records of
distinguished persons of the name in the early affairs of that town and would be glad to
let me examine them. [] I pass thru there once or twice yearly but in too much a hurry
to make a stop. [] Let us hear from you as often as you can. [] All send best love and
