that she would watch and perhaps

Beside these already described
parties there was at least dozen
more ladies, some married, wild

less partly or entirely convinced
of the great good that they
thought Mrs. Supercilita Anal
CAMS design would accomplish.
When the time had arrived in
Mrs. Supercilita Amalgam's mind,
that the actual business of the
party should be begun, she request
cd the Rev. Theophilus Buncombe
to lay before the assembled ladies'

through the inspirations OF the
Holy Ghost) to these by US 80
dearly beloved fellow men, even
so, that they have cheerfully &C
copied their appointment each as
private tutor to the bright inquir-

themselves in the sacred precinct
OF our Sunday school. And with
humble Joy / point to the glorious
results, that the devotion OF these

Holy Spirit to show as our four
dear brethren, the Rev. Chang
Wang, Rev. Wung Chung, Rev.
Hi Long and Rev. Ho Ling, who
are now prepared to go forth and
proclaim the glad tidings OF the
Gospel to their fellow beings in
their own country. Oh glory be to
the Lord They are fit, able and
willing to go and do their sacred
duty, as they know 1t to be. Now
it rests with us to crown our good
work, to fit them out in everything
and measure and then to send
them forth with our blessing.
