_What, dost thou praise a native black? I blush to find it true; O lend me words to render back The praise to whom ’tis due._
I hope my love will find acceptance with all your flock who know me, and who love the LORD JESUS in sincerity. I have often comforted myself and companions with this saying, “Now Mr. _C――――_ and our other friends are praying for us.” At the receipt of this, turn your prayers into praises, and then turn your praises again into prayers, in behalf of, dear Mr. _C――――_,
Your affectionate brother and fellow-labourer in CHRIST JESUS,
