our Heavenly Father clothes them, and will he not
do as much for one of his Young servants; yes
verily he will clothe them with wisdom and inteligence
that they will be able to confound the wise. God has
said he would choose the weak things and the unlearned
to bring about his works in these last days. Therefore,
comfort yourself with the above sayings and many
others that time would fail me to enumerate, and they
are familiar to yourself, continue to be faithful and
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob shall be your guard
and your defence and your suporter in every time
of need. Keep yourself unspoted from the eviles of
this generation and you shall be blessed forever
amen.

to sending extra Nos. of Star & Messenger.
I have forwarded J. Chumbly 5 extra Nos of Reprinted
Star. And A. B. Wilson four.
And Levi Taylor 3 Nos. of the Messenger.

The four last had each 14 Nos. Therefore they have
had two Nos each over one year. consequently they
are some what in debted to the office. I would inform
you that we are very sory that any Nos. should mis-
carry for we print just such a quantity and to
supply odd numbers breaks a whole volume therefore
we loose much in consequence of the negligence or
wickedness of Postmasters. You see in what situatin
it places us, but we have one or two consolotions,
that is we have a clear conscience before the Lord and
the wicked must not think to hide their wickedness
before the Lord. I must Close by saying I am
your brother in the bonds of the New Co[v]nant.
