My dear Teacher -

God is doing His own work with me in His own way and I care not how that be only so that it bring me nearer As Written: neerer Him as it is surely doing

My Father's hand is leading me higher and higher – I feel so much this Love that does so much for one so unworthy – I can only say Oh God be merciful to me a sinnerLuke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. - I am the chief of sinnersI Tim 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. and yet what is He doing for me

My dear Teacher I no longer want to hide my sinsProv 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. but would be glad to expose them every one – and could not go on until I told you this –

Words cannot express my thankfulness to you and to God for all that I have received at your hands -

With great love
Your student
J. S. Bartlett.
