In the first
week of February, 1859, meetings were held every evening in the
Seminary at South Hadley to pray for the school in Oroomiah; and a
letter from Miss Rice, written that week, says, "God is with us;
souls are seeking Christ; and I am so strengthened for labor, that I
am sure Christian friends are praying for us more than they did last
month." Do Christians in this country realize as they ought the
connection between their prayers and the blessings bestowed on the
opposite side of the globe? Do we go to the monthly concert
believing that prayer, offered then and there, will, through
infinite grace in Christ Jesus, result in the salvation of souls and
the advancement of his kingdom? Such facts as these ought surely to
increase our faith. Well might a missionary say, "I have so often
felt sure that I was reaping in answer to the prayers of those far
away, that on this subject my heart is full, and my first and last
word to friends is, 'Pray for us.'"
