Indianapolis.DEAR BRO. RUSSELL:--I enclose now $20 of which $5 is tobe credited to my DAWN account and the other $15 is to beused to send Food and "Hail" to our dear Bro. H. I enclose hisletter and order which of course you can fill much better andless expensively to him than I could.The return home to-day from my week's labors found all well,and I rejoice and praise the Lord for results. The whole weekwas a triumphal march of Immanuel's banner and cause againstthe hosts of sin, ignorance, superstition and unbelief.I told you that they had asked me to return to I., and give themanother address on my way back home. I did so, and found thatthe interested ones had been unable to secure a church and hadhired a hall and paid my board and all expense for the seconddiscourse. I sold all my books and more, having to mail someback to-day. This morning I found them hanging on me still tohave Scripture explained and I again preached to them from 7A.M. till train time at 10 A.M. I spoke three times on the trip,twice at great disadvantage, but my voice held out and grewstronger and my mouth was full of the high praises of our God.With kindest regards and remembrance joined by Sr. A. to youand Sr. Russell. In Christ the Lord,J. B. ADAMSON.====================R1144 : page 3YIELD NOT TO FEAR.Poor, fainting spirit, still hold on thy way--The day is near!True, thou art weary; but yon brighter rayBecomes more clear.Bear up a little longer; wait for rest;Yield not to slumber, though with toil oppressed."The coming night is mournful, but look on--The dawn is here!Soon will earth's shadowy scenes and gloom be gone;Yield not to fear:The mountain's summit will ere long be gained,And thy bright hopes with joy and peace attained.'Joyful through hope!' thy motto still must be--The dawn is here!What glories will that dawn unfold to thee!Be of good cheer!Gird up thy loins; bind sandals on thy feet:The way is short, though rough; the end is sweet."
