User-Contributed Transcription other one before he leaves. Whose life may next be taken the Lord only knows. This is a solemn day with us. We saw her corpse this morn, and the thought arose that soon it would be our turn. Pray for us, dear parents, that this may prove a precious lesson to us. -- There has been considerable interest in this church during the last few weeks. Last week thursday was set apart for fasting and prayer that the Lord would pour out upon them an abundent blessing It has been many years since there has been any revival here before, the christians seem to have been asleep and of course sinners were useless. May the work not cease while one soul remains unblessed. We were very glad to get your note. It seemed so good to get a little advice from our parents. We almost felt that we were with you and heard you speak. How thankful ought we to be that our family are so united in church and we would have to pray that this bond may only be more perfect in heaven. -- This year is more than half gone. Soon I hope we shall meet in our one happy home. Ours is a dear home and never more dear than now we are so far from it. Our health is pretty good. This is a very pleasant day. Only a few fleecy clouds float in the blue vault and the sun scatters his rays warm and bright upon us. It snowed again last night. We are not having Spring so fast as we thought. Please write to us before long. We both join in love. Your aff daughter Jane.
