Gen. Toombs on Christianity.

WASHINGTON, GA, Dec. y, 1884.
Mr.. e. j. Loyal, 101 Cherry street,
Macon, Gu.
MY DEAR FRIEND-1 received yours of
Nov. 80 last with great pleasure, and in
tended to make an immediate reply, but
have not been we'll day sinceits receipt.
Independent of my loss Of sight, almost
total now, am severely afflicted, and my
nephew, who is writing this letter for
me, is so indispOsed that am unable to
write all / intended. l have had the
settled conviction from youth that the
Christian religion was true, and that it
was the duty of every man t0pray to Him
daily and to His Son, Jesus Christ, for
forgiveness of sins. | feel an absolute con-
viction that all of Gods creatures who will
truly repent of their sins and pray for for
giveness will be pardOned and secure
eternal happiness. | think have felt-l
know have felt this truth, especially in
the last year. have always had the
greatest confidence in your integrity and
in your friendship for me, and | intended
to have gone farther in the interesting
questions submitted by you, but my
health will not permit this morning. AS
soon as my health will permit me to re-
sumo it, will write you fuller letter.
You write. me that you have been long
time engaged, which, knew, In retailing
spirituOus liquors, and you ask my Opin-
ion as to whether it is sinful. do not
think that of itself 1t is sinful, but
would advise you to get some other oc-
cupatIon as soon as you can find one to
su pport your family.
The Lords prayer, which ! have al
ways considered the duty Of every man
to repeat daily, which has been eDj0ined
upon the whole human race, requires us
to pray to God confirm usly 10 "lead us
not into temptation, but to deliver us
from evil"
l send you a little tract upon the subject
of seeking religion. I send it by express
this morning. 1t is the clearest exposi-
tion of the subject l have ever seen. Be
sure to read the Introduction by the Rev.
Edwin PaysOn Hammond. The book is
entitled, "The Blood of Christ" by the
Rev. William Reed, NJ. A.
1t removes all mysteries from the true
road of regeneration, and has given me
more light and consolation than anything
l have ever read-not even excepting the
Bible itself.
God bless you. friend, and strengthen
you to continue in your present course.
Let me hear from you, especially if you
have received my letter and pamphlet. l
am very truly, your friend, r. TOOMBS.
