I GENTLEMEN, TRUST there are none who love our Lord Jefus Chrift in fincerity who do not applaud your apparent zeal and industry, in the cause of our divine Master. They alfo blefs God that he doth, from time to time, raise up inftruments for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom in the world And as you have freely offered your fervice in this glorious caufe, it furely becometh others, according to their feveral ability, to follow the example. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; but, bleffed be God, he is pleased to accept whatever his creatures have to beflow, (provided it be done with a right difpofition of heart) as a facrifice acceptable to himself. Accordingly I fend you inclosed in this a five dollar bill, which please to appropriate to the Miffionary bufinefs. It is the price of industry. My health has been for a confiderable time bad, at leaft by turns, which led me exceeding ly to prize the bleffing when I enjoyed it, and made me to inquire, what fhall I render to the my Lord for all his benefits? Accordingly I refolved to set apart fix pence of my earnings each week, in which I was able to perform tafk, to charitable purpofes, and I have this little fum remaining; and I can affure my young female companions that Í feel a pleafure in doing thus, which twice the fum could not procure for me if employed in adorning my body. May the Lord and make you able watchmen upon the walls of Jerufalem, fill your fouls with holy joy, and when you have finished your pilgrimage on earth, receive for Chrift's fake, to manfions of eternal reft!— blefs you, you FROM A FEMALE FRIEND TO MISSIONS.
