"
The Seminary keeps up a Christian intercourse with the institution
at South Hadley, as the following letters will show; and the
beautiful melodeon in the sitting room is a tuneful testimony to the
liberality of Holyoke's daughters.
"Many salutations and much love from the school of Miss Fiske to
you, our dear sisters of the school at Mount Holyoke. We rejoice
that there is such a great institution full of holy words and the
warm love of Christ: we hear that many of you have an inheritance
above, and are daily looking forward to it. We want to tell you how
glad we are that the Holy Spirit has come among you, and that God
has turned so many to himself. Though we are great sinners, we
rejoice exceedingly in the success of the work of God in every
place; and we beg you to pray that the Holy Spirit may visit us
also, and our people, and strike sharp arrows into flinty hearts,
that they may melt like wax before the fire. Blessed be God, that
though we had become the least of all nations, and adopted many
customs worse than the heathen, and our holy books were carefully
laid away and never used, yet he put love into the hearts of his
servants, that they should come to this dark land.
