. Let me say to thee, hold fast that which thou hast experienced to be Truth. May the God of Truth not spare nor pity thee nor me, until he has purified our hearts by his powerful judgments, mixed with infinite mercy and adorable love ! And may the God of our father be our God forever ! " Give my kind love to John Pemberton, who has been our father's friend, and almost unspeakably our friend; and ungratefully have I returned his tender love and care over me. " With true and tender regard, I rem...ain thy affec- tionate brother, Mordecai Yarnall. " 284 PETER YARNALL. In the Second month, 1781, Peter Yarnall having appeared in supplication in the Market Street meeting- house, George Churchman, who was present, felt fear- ful that the youthful minister had extended his peti- tions somewhat beyond what was best. On returning toward his home, this experienced elder believed it would be right to drop ' a tender caution and hint to his young friend, and therefore wrote him a letter. He expresses therein his sympathy for Peter, his desires for his preservation, and also his feeling that there was a savor of life about the supplication which had been offered, He then tenderly hints he had thought it might have been better to have closed it sooner, adding : " [I feel] great tenderness, yet withal a care that thou, in thy infant state, may be preserved from getting out of or swimming beyond thy depth in the stream with which thy acquaintance and experience have been but short, although thy mind has been mercifully turned, I hope, toward the way everlasting.
