willingly transcribe, were it not that fear !
would become tedious. DR.. Fleetwood,
Bishop of St. Asaph, also entered with au-
dable zeal into this benevolent enterprise,
and preached q sermon before the Society
for propagating the Gospel, in the year
iii, setting forth the duty instructing the
negroes in the Christian religion. Great
numbers Of this discourse were published
in 1925, and extensively circulated in the
American Colonies. There is reason to
believe that these publications produced a
very happy eject and influenced the minds
Of many Shareholders to desire the instruc-
ton oftheir negroes.
Thus my dear Sir, YOU see that the enter.
prise in which YOU are engaged is not new,
but more than century ago earnestly oc-
cupied the minds of some of the greatest
and best men in the Church of England.
Permit me now in the conclusion of this
long letter to exhort you to persevere in the
good work which you have so auspicous y
commenced. The beginning may be small,
but the result will be glorious. The king
dom of heaven is like grain of mustard
seed which is the smallest of all seeds, but
when it grows it becomes great tree
The Lord will send you help from onhigh.
He will also raise up co-adjutors, who will
aid YOU in the work. "Be strong in the
Lord and in the power ofhis might
Yours trul y, A. ALEXANDER.
