the Redeemers kingdom in that office-than where you are. Still
I know, one cannot decide for another Let me hear from you soon.
I have heard that you have a good degree of religious interest,
both in School and Church I hope you may be greatly refreshed,
and your hands strengthened.
I sometimes hope we have some tokens of a better state of things
in our Church. There is I think-a deepening sense of the want
of spirituality And I trust there is a melting of some of the
hardness that has existed. I try to deal faithfully with my Ses-
sion-we meet often- And I think there is getting to be an
interest in our meetings.
The Church is filling up-the attendance is good. It is a little
remarkable the increase in my congregation is nearly all gentlemen.
So far as I can see but few ladies.
My Dear Bro pray for us. This was your first love in Texas.
You know us, and our needs; pray that the Gospel may have free
course.
Tomorrow is New years day. May God give you and yours a
happy new year. Yours fraternally
R. H. Byers
