p341 [R T Grant] [To the same.] DEAR BROTHER, - I shall be very glad to hear how you get on. I feel how little power I have myself of acting so that there is power of motive on the conscience. I have felt latterly that I need more faith in the willingness of Christ to bless. I so fear dragging men beyond their faith that I do not encourage them enough in the path of faith. I think I used to do it more. But I have the greatest dread of any one's acting beyond his faith; but then one ought to be able to present Christ so that He should be a sufficient motive, but for that one must have faith to bring Him in oneself. The Lord grant us do so more; I am sure devotedness in oneself is needed for this - not merely not to have another object, that I think I could say - but to have this in earnestness and energy. The Lord be with you.

Affectionately yours, dear brother.

Hamilton, 1863.
