Lift up then the hands which are ready to hang down on account of the many deficiencies prevailing among us as a people, remembering; as has been testified, that the prayers of rightly-exercised pa- rents on behalf of their ofi'spring availeth much ; so, also, doth those of the parents in the truth, for the preservation and protec- of that unto which they may feel bound by the strong ties of deep and fervent love to the Father, and, consequently, to the chil- dren, over whom he has, in a measur...e, placed these as fathers and mothers in the truth, demominated ministers and elders. As I have written nothing but that which seemed to present in the light which we as a people profess, I will close, with the salu- tation of love. Rebecca B. Thompson. 35 Mill Creek, Tenth mo. 23d, 1851. Dear Friend, — After a season of almost (as I feared) total banishment from the pre- sence of my Heavenly Father, a little speck of light seemed at last to arise, bringing with it the evidence that I must address an absent friend, as way may seem to open in the light of Truth ; not feeling myself at liberty to correspond, even with those I truly love, in any other manner, except in way of business ; for I have plainly seen, that in my own will and time I can do no good thing, but that the Lord's time and will is the alone right time and way ; and if I move not thus, I mar the work he designed me to perform.
