trail organization! LOOK at the AMERICAN
Board for Foreign Missions. A few sound
heads and warm hearts direct and guide all
the motions. Why should we not follow
their example. Birney and his associates
are excellent men, tried and faithful and
they can collect information, publish books,
employ agents, and watch the enemy to
great advantage. And they should be sus-
tanned. Let them sink under their burdens, !
and who will fill their places? In my view
the cause would be nearly hopeless.
If any alteration be necessary in the cen
trail organization, let it be made; but the
children must not take away the bread from
their parents. Every Society should contrib
ute literally TO the parent Society. Keep
alive the action at the heart, or death will
follow. do pray that we may not look
every one upon our own; but that we may
all look at the degraded, abused, dying mill
ions of undying souls, and an the spirit of
Christ act for their good. And may the
God Of wisdom and mercy guide, bless and
prosper you in all things. Be not weary in
we'll doing. Verify there is God that will
not always slumber. Seek his aid, and
your labor will not be in vain.
Yours, cordially, for the slave,
KrAH BAILEY.
