We are greatly
obliged to you and to your people for so kindly sending us these
missionaries. They have greatly multiplied our books, and, as we
trust, brought many souls to Christ. Some of us, formerly, knew not
who Christ was, or whether a Redeemer had died for us; but now he
has gathered us together in this school of godly instruction; and
some of us are awaking to our sins, and to the great love God has
shown in sending his Son to die for us. We thank God very much that
we know Jesus Christ, the only Saviour.
"Again, we want to thank you for sending Miss Fiske to teach us the
way of life; we love her because she greatly loves us, and desires
our salvation. Every day she takes much trouble that we may be the
daughters of God. But her burdens are so great, that we fear she
will not remain long with us, unless some one comes to help her. And
now we have a petition to present: we hear that in many of you
dwelleth the spirit of our Master, Jesus Christ; and that you are
ready to leave home and friends, and go to distant lands, to gather
the lost sheep of Christ. Dear sisters, our petition is, that you
will send us a teacher.
