among us may take deep impression upon our hearts.
Dear Sister, be pleased to pray for us, that we may be
enabled through divine assistance to worship God in spirit
and in truth. I fully believe that thou art sent by the
Great and Good Spirit into this part of the world to do
good to thy fellow creatures, to preach the gospel unto
every kind of people; and although many people are led
to believe that it is not the duty of women to preach,
still I pray to God that thou mayest not be discouraged,
there being many infallible proofs in the scriptures of
women labouring in the gospel; one greatest encouragement
is, our Lord Jesus appeared to a woman first after His
Resurrection. I hope therefore my dear sister, thou may-
est keep on thy gospel labour, and may that Great and
Good Spirit who is able to protect thee by His Almighty
Power through all the changing scenes of this life, guide
thee by His Wisdom, and bless all they endeavors, and
crown them with success wheresoever He in His Wisdom
may cast thy lot.
My dear sister, although we are uncertain whether
ever we shall see
each other’s faces again, and though the
billows and the wide ocean
may roll between us, still I
hope our hearts will be united together
in love, and one
voice in glorifying God, and in celebrating His
praises for
His unbounded Love for such vile creatures as we
are.
And now my dear sister, as I a about to bid thee
farewell,
I must beg of thee to remember me in thy prayers; as
for
my part I shall never forget thee, but shall ever pray
that
thou mayest be preserved through all they trials on
this
earth, and be preserved by the Almighty’s protection
to
arrive safely on thy native shore, and finally that we
may
meet when our day’s work is done here, at the right hand
of
God the Father, amongst the lambs of His fold, and
never to part
again, which is the sincere prayer of thy
sister in the Lord, who
wishes thy welfare both here and
hereafter.
