I HAVE from my heart blessed and thanked God, for his great condescension and goodness displayed in your behalf, and for delivering you from the hand of him that is stronger than you; "The prey shall be taken from the mighty, and the lawful captive shall be delivered." The hour of temptation has exercised all believers more or less; they have been accomplished in all the apostles, and in all their brethren that were in this world; "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried be shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him," James, i. 12.
"In the Lord, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength to him shall men come, and none that trust in him shall be desolate." He is an able, a willing, a suitable, and an all-sufficient Saviour: and they that trust in his name shall never be moved. That a sense of gratitude, and a lasting impression of your high obligation to Jesus, may rest with you, is the desire and prayer of, dear Friend,
Your soul's well-wisher in Christ Jesus,
W. HUNTINGTON.
