Heartfelt thanks for your good letter from Kristiania. Thanks for telling me about John Wintersborg. I confirmed with Br. Ellefsen, who has now moved, that you are very welcome to come on the 9th, which you mentioned before. Judith can stay either at Br. Karl’s or Br. Birkeland’s place. We look forward to seeing you both here.

God has blessed your work, and I believe He will continue to do so. Just be faithful to Him in everything. God has given you light; use it to battle and conquer. Never allow anyone to dominate you—except the truth itself. Never be subservient to people who don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Never fear the missionaries you come in contact with. If they love God, you will have fellowship with them; but if they don’t love Him, never let them get too close to you. Keep them at sword’s length, because you never know when they will attack you at a moment’s notice. Sell everything you have, buy a sword, and practice using it lawfully. I know you love the truth with all your heart, but as you know, we can’t be warned and reminded enough about all the wretchedness in the world. It can snare a person’s soul and steal their power.

Warm greetings. Greetings to Judith.

Your brother, always devoted in the Lord,

Greet John if you see him.

I will write to Aksel and ask him to come here on the 9th.
