very powerful sermon from Matt. vii, 18th

we fancied, but we had the promise that in
his wisdom our Father which is in heaven
will give good things to them that ask him.
After the sermon he read the following
letter and closed with avery affecting prayer,
making very earnest petition to the throne
of grace for the people of the Mission under
their present difficulty, very many of the
congregation weeping
