faith in <strong>the</strong>m or in Christ; and hold fast to <strong>the</strong> truth.<br />

Extract from a letter written in 1892 from<br />

Adelaide, South Australia .--My bro<strong>the</strong>r, you will<br />

meet with trials, but hold fast your integrity. Never<br />

show anything but a noble spirit. The heavenly<br />

universe is watching <strong>the</strong> conflict. Satan is<br />

watching, anxious to catch you off your guard,<br />

anxious to see you acting impetuously, that he may<br />

obtain <strong>the</strong> advantage over you. Fight manfully <strong>the</strong><br />

battle of <strong>the</strong> Lord. Do just as Christ would do were<br />

He in your place. Let <strong>the</strong>re be no inconsistency in<br />

your faith or practice. Do not allow yourself to<br />

become wrought up over <strong>the</strong> vexatious troubles<br />

that are constantly arising. Keep calm, think of<br />

Jesus, and do what you can to please Him. The<br />

grace of Christ and <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit are God's gifts<br />

to you, that you may be streng<strong>the</strong>ned with all might<br />

in <strong>the</strong> inner man.<br />
