Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Zion's Works, Vol. 15: New Light on the Bible, From the Coming of Shiloh, the Spirit of Truth, 1828-1837
The Chapel is very well attended, and the Cause upon the whole, is in a ?ourishing state.
There were a few that had some strange and un warrantable expectations, that something wonderful would take place with me after my illness, whether it was that they thought of seeing my body changed into some wonderful form or appearance, no one knows; but they expressed themselves much disappointed that something did not take place, for it does appear that they did not expect to see me the same person.
But poor dear people, I feel sorry for their weakness, and glad to find that now, by a little explanation and conversation on these points, their thoughts are turned into a more Spiritual and Scriptural channel.
How are you now at Nottingham? Do the Friends come to Meeting well, since we left? We hope that we shall hear that they all obey in our absence, even as when we are present; for if people come merely when it suits them individually, they give proof that they have not yet overcome self. Ought we not to seek the honour and glory of God, and that His Cause should be established on the earth? Yes, we profess to be lovers of Him; then let our works declare it, for the Word saith, 'when I come, I will not know the speech of him that is puffed-up, but the power.'
