Laurie, Thomas, 1821-1897

"By a Returned Missionary"

As soon as Raheel was gone, she left, and as yet we know not
where she is. Truly, great is the power of prayer. So God brought to
nought evil counsels, scattered fearful, dark clouds, and caused the
light of joy to rise upon us. But I am very sad about my mother,
because she has turned away from the fear of God, and is fleeing
from life. My father and husband still get intoxicated. I trust that
you will multiply your prayers for them; and ask your friends to do
the same, and to pray for me, and our village and country. Give my
love to all your friends.
From your lover, HOIMAR.
We shall hear from Hoimar again, in connection with the communion.
