ABSTRACT
June 21ld.-In taking farewell of the coast once more, Inany thoughts of all across the ocean occupy me, and I feel as if I were leaving you all again. But with God's help I can say, these things do not move me. Indeed, never have I felt such a strong desire to be back again to ll1y happy life and work in the distant parts of this country. Until the last Liverpool steamer came in, two weeks ago, I had a silent hope that someone might yet come to join m.e in this journey. Loth as I anl to invite, or even to encourage anyone to do so, I firnlly believe that the right person will come in the right time. rrhe longer I wait, and the more I cast the matter entirely upon God, the lTIOre assurance I get of His perfect ordering, and the more strength and joy He gives me in my position here. His gentleness towards me, His constant care and provision at every turn of the way, have helped me better to know Him who calleth us not servants, but friends, and maketh kno\vn to us the things that He doeth and hath.
