Laurie, Thomas, 1821-1897

"By a Returned Missionary"

Then, dear sisters, though
unworthy, we should increase our painful efforts, and our prayers to
God, that speedily his kingdom may come and his will be done on
earth as it is done in heaven, that all regions may know him and
praise him forever. Beloved sisters, I am unworthy to thank you, and
still more to thank God, who has disposed you to show such kindness
to my poor body, and yet more to my perishing soul, with words so
gentle and full of love; yet greatly do I thank you.
Again, dear friends, I have one request to make--that every time you
bow before God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of all who
love him, you will remember me in your prayers, for I am very needy,
and there is great danger that my soul will perish forever. Remember
also my mother, and all my friends, sinners, and on their way to
destruction. Know ye, further, that I conceal the writing of this
because they would not allow me openly to write, for they are very
foolish and benighted. Accept, then, this poor letter, as a token of
friendship and gratitude, in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
From your unworthy and sinful sister,
NAZRE, of Tiary.
