Cara From DR.. McFerrin.

From the Nashville Christian Advocated
Six weeks ago, this day, was
taken sick; the next day l took my
room and bed, where / have been
confined ever since with malarial
typhoid fever. My physicians and
nurses say that my case was critical,
and for several days the result was
extremely doubtful. Indeed, it was
published in the papers as l now
learn, that was passed away. But,
by the goodness of God, the pray
ers of his people, the skill and en-
ergy of wise physicians, and good
nursing, 1 have been raised up, and
am now much improved and able,
with my own hand, to pencil these
lines. Next week / hope to be in
my office.
The object of this writing is to
greet my friends and brethren in
love, and in small degree recipro-
cate their sympathy and congratu-
lations in my sickness and in my
recovery. To many friends in per
sonal letters, to annual conferences,
to the board of missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and to
the religious and secular press, north
and south, / am indebted for kind
words, all of which are, trust, duly
appreciated, however unmerited on
my part. Whatever of virtue is in
me as christian, and whatever of
good 1 may have wrought, is all of
the grace of God.
1 come up from the margin of the
"last river with heart fuller of
love to God and charity for men
then ever before. l think l have
realized and now feel that "for me
to live in Christ, but to die is gain
All of grace.
Asking my brethren to continue
to pray for me, and invoking the
blessing of God upon the church
and the country, 1 am yours in
Christ, j. B McFERRIN.
