Letter

drawing aside of the veil of separationand of the dark world.

Although it is a great joy to hear all this,still I beg and pleadwith the Lord Health, that He will not permit this misfortune to overtake me, that I should live to see you get in advance of me by the veil being pushed aside and you entering into rest, leavingme behind in an evil world, the prey of wild beasts and devils,from whom

I have suffered enough for over twenty years, to merit beingreleased before all of you, and allowed to fall asleepin the I plead that the dear

God would smite me with illness instead of you, and command me to lay aside this weary, worn-out frame, which can henceforth benefit no one.

I earnestlyadmonish you to join us in imploringthe dear Church and the discomfiture of Satan, to maintain you in life.

Life, also sees what manner of persons and giftsHis Church now and then requires.

After waitingRvq weeks we have received letters from God be praisedour party is doing everythingin a wise, straightforward way, while our opponents are acting foolishlyand childishly,full of cunning and lies,from which we may gather that Satan,seeingthe approach of dawn, wrigglesinto a thousand corners, seekingrefugein subterfugeand lies,but all in vain,for glory,power, and victorybelongto the Lamb who was slain and rose again.

We hope our people may soon return from May all go well with you, my dear Friedrich,and may the Lord not permit me to hear that you are dead, but allow you to survive me.

This shall be my petition,this is my desire,and my will shall be done.

For my will seeks the honour of the Divine name, and not my own honour and pleasure.

Once more farewell in the We pray earnestlyfor you.

Kathie greets you, she, like all of us, being much distressed at your illness.
