_To Mr. H――――._
_Savannah, Feb. 4, 1740._
HOW is it with your heart? I hope the LORD JESUS leads you on from
conquering to conquer, and gets himself the victory every day. I
cannot but think that hereafter great things will be done in _America_.
GOD seems to have given some earnests of it already. My next journal
will acquaint you what they are. It often pleases me, to reflect how
CHRIST’s kingdom is securely carried on in spite of men and devils,
and that too by the weakest instruments in different parts of the
world. Surely we shall unite at last, and that glorious time will come,
when, with one heart and with one voice, we shall sing praises to him
who sitteth upon the throne for ever. A glorious epiphany, I trust,
will shortly be made in the hearts of many souls. My dearest Brother,
let us do or suffer any thing, so we may be made instruments of
beginning and carrying on so divine a work. As for my own part, I
often stand astonished at the riches of free distinguishing grace,
and I often feel myself so great a sinner, that I am tempted to think,
nothing can be blessed which comes from such unhallowed hands and lips;
but yet the LORD is with me, and attended his word with mighty power
on _Christmas_ day. Pray remember me to all friends. I expect you will
receive the letters I sent from _Philadelphia_, ere this comes to hand.
I depend on seeing your journal, and hope you will accept of my most
cordial love from, dearest Brother,
Your’s eternally in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
