in the great atonement, the trials,
suderings, and awful death OF that
Being, sinless In Himself, vet who, in
obedience to the will OF His Divine
Father, took upon Himself the sins of
the whole world, and endured the
punishment in order that we poor sim
ners might escape the righteous law Of
God, and yet that law be vindicated by
| sacrifice, that we might have a home
above throughout the countless ages of
| eternity. Oh, Camilla! think of this
great love for US, and then think how IL
is repaid by us. Dear Camilla, please
don't neglect the salvation of your soul,
though we must soon part here. Oh
| Let me feel before go that you will try
to live so that you will meet me above,
where there will be no more sorrow nor
parting-where man cannot intrude his
will or power to make his fellow mourn.
Dear Camilla, l want 10 feel before go
that when your time shall come that
can stand and meet you on the pearly
shores of heaven, and sing, as see you
on your way, welcome home"
"Go when the morning Shi,lpth,
Go when the moon is bright,
Go when the ere CieClineEh,
Go in the SHADES o. night.
Go with pure mind and IeeltnO
Fling earthly thoughts away,
AHdi IN Thy chamber EneeIinO,
DoMOu In secret prGy."
Dear Camilla, seek the mercy seat
alone, and often, and there pour out
your sorrows, griefs, and trouble, and
He will answer your prayers, perhaps
not as you wish, but in a way which
will be best for you. There, before His
all.pervading eye, lay bare your heart;
roll your sins on to Jesus, he can and
will bear them, If you will only believe
1t; and He is your y Advocate with the
Father" What blessed thought that
we can individualiZe tho Saviour, that
we eau say; "My Saviour, He bore my
sins on the cross, He died to save me"
and, dear Camilla, when evil thoughts
and doubts and foars come over you, go
and pray to Him for help to overcome
them, and for strength and faith. Ifyou
will do this He will enable you to en-
dure all that you may be called upon to
bear, with patience. l am right we'll,
and expect Charles Perkins TO spend
the evening with me. Please give my
respects to Miss Kate. Please don't
forget me at six O'Clock in the evening.
Keep this letter and often look at it.
This will propRbly be the last one that
will be able to send you, and when I
am gone please read it very often.
! am, as ever! yours, with love unto
death, GEORGE.
[sECoND LETTER.
MONDAY EVENING, March S, 1869.
DEAR CAMILLA: Mr.. Bringhurst spent
about two hours with me yesterday AT
IdTuOohS anu We Ahu II VOL
timo, as we always do, although he has
not been very well. Last evening
Charles Perkins came up about z
O'Clock, and stayed until quarter of
nine. We had lovely evening, sing.
ing some hymns, and each one offering
an humble prayer to Almighty God, in
which You we're remembered. Oh,
Camilla, always remember you in
my prayers, hoping that God will direct
your heart Alright. and He will if you
will only ask Him. Father, John Nc.
Gully, Frank Moore, and my warm
friend, George Neiman. were here this
morning to see me; they let George
Neiman stay about half5an hour, and
we had a delightful time, he offering
up prayer, and then we sang several
hymns. have been very happy to-
day. This afternoon Mr.. Farr came in
about half-past two o'clock and stayed
about an hour. Mr.. Bringhurst did
not get here till about three o'clock. -
Before Mr.. Farr LETT we had one hymn,
and he led US in prayer. He prayed
very sweetly,yet very earnestly, for me,
and you were alse remembered In it.
Mr.. Farr is q very sweet Christian
character; he is about seventy years OF
age. and is member of the committee
OF the Prison Society. He is very inter-
esting in his conversation, having
travelled considerably. He formerly
kept the jewelry store in Chestnut
it. My dear Camilla, L feel that God
has been very kind to me in my a1lllc-
ton, having blessed me with many
warm friends, and many peaceful and
pleasant and happy hours. Oh! dear
| Camilla, He has made my soul very
| happy; He has made me feel enabled
TO say that, come what will, whether it
DO life or death, know in whom L
trust, and though the flesh is weak, yet
He will give me strength TO meet all,
and enable me to feel that 1t Is but a
moment of pain here, and then an
bright, glorious kingdom which Is
promised to them that believe. These
are blessed thoughts, and dear Camilla
let me again entreat you to prepare for
this. A few hours may; FEW years
must bring you to the close or life; ana
II L go first want to meet you where
there Is no more signing, neither any
sorrow nor any crying. Dear Camilla,
the spirit of Christianity is good to live
with, as we'll as to die with. You may
think this very strange language from
one who has been such skeptlc ana
scorner as have been, but in my cRl-
amitV God has changed my heart and
shown me the fallacy OF my ways. ON,
Camilla have been very great sim
ner, but Gods mercy has been tar
greater, I am adifferent man from the
George 8. Twitchell OF five months ago,
ana q IaE nhRploE OhCt OfoA
dark earthly prospects ahead Jesus
says, "Fear nothing, those who XII the
nod y can after that do nothing" Please
don't forget God, for He, through the
blessed Savior, is your only saiVatlon.
Dear Camilla, If the worst should come,
think 1 would like to sleep In Mount
Moriah, near that beautiful stream OF
water, Brook Hebron, l think It IS
called, far away from the noise ana
hustle of the world, where you can
come and commune with me, and L
want you to put no costly monument
over my grave, but plant some roses
and something that will be green III
winter. q.

the same thing, Camilla. You have my
life in your hands. If you do as I d.

stances should arise he would spare me.
