A PROPHETIC VOICE

Through the kindness OF Professor
Robertson we present the following
letter from the correspondence OF
John @. Fee. The writer had the
prophetic spirit evidently.
East Hardwick, Vermont,
March 2. 1867.
Rev. John G. Fee:
Dear Sir:
have Just read your communica-
ton about a college in Kentucky and
published in the American Missionary
for March 1851. You say few men
can give you such a college. Il re-
peat your remark with all my heart.
Join with you under God" Yes
Sir. Get your own heart in IT, Enga-
&c a few devout men and women To
take hold OF Gods strength and you
can get up a college. They need not
be dds or members Of Congress
but they must have strong arms
and long arms that can reach TO
heaven and take hold OF Gods
strength.
For your encouragement let me say
that when the question about getting
up the Theological Institution now
In living motion at Bangor was first
agitated there was no money, no
patronage. A large part Of the good
people in the State opposed. or were
Indifferent. But the Institution was
needed and there II is. May II pros
por forever.
Now my Brother II you want n
school or college for Christ. take
hold OF him with one hand and with
the other take hold of the work. You
may get cuffs and kicks. never mind
them. Old soldiers love to show
their scars. Well you must not sound
a trumpet and call the enemy To bat
