Now, dear brother, I hardly know what use you can possibly make of this, but my prayers shall go with your work of perpetuating their memory.
Very sincerely yours,
George O. Phelps
The thought that the servants of Christ are praying for us is very cheering in the prosecution of our work.
The facts enumerated in the following letter from Pastor Chambers contain a thousand thoughts as descriptive of what every Christian ought to pray for and strive after, namely, to be, as he expresses it, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
How expressive in this connection are the words of the apostle, "Take heed lest there be found in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God."
New York, November 9, 1886.
Rev. D. McNeill Young:
Dear Brother—Your letter informing me of the death of Mr. and Mrs. Knowles was forwarded to me from Harrisburg, to this city.
