Lavington. May 29. 1847. My dear Millaken, I am indeed to think that it will be letter to have the N.S early (say 8. Am) on the 3 Sundays. Because there is a risk of people coming with too sight preparation, or of getting as enstoned to the sight respect of it without coming. And yet on the other hand, the visible Celebration is a vast vit. nesp for the Craft, & the Wold unseen. And if you think you can safely do it, and make your people feel that you do got com. sham them, perhaps it may be best to have it in the face of the Church. I am less disposed to the view with us; I began this answer than I used to be. But then I should content myself with few communicants, & beg to travel them one by one in private, & rather to keep them back in sermons. Travel was a sight I have followed the opposite course. I trust not to the most grave soul. If you have it early curtain seems to allow the Com". Office alone. Little as I have derived from it, I count the last 7 years of weekly Com". one of the Chief beliefings of my life. God grant it be not laid tong change. I am thankful very thankful. I think you hope for the same, & I trust with peakle benefit. Many thanks for your kind and, by God Goodness, I trust I am getting on your speech. A. Williams
