Laurie, Thomas, 1821-1897

"By a Returned Missionary"

I hear them say,
"Though we have had revivals before, we have never seen a year like
this, when the words of God had such deep effect." Mrs. Cochran and
I have good meetings with these women. Our congregations make glad
the Christian heart, and I am particularly happy in laboring for
them, one by one. A portion of them, with tearful eyes, are
covenanting to be the Lord's. We ask the Lord to strengthen them in
their covenant, and we entreat of you and of your friends to pray
for them.
Our Sabbath schools are very pleasant. Mr. Cochran will tell you how
the work goes forward. Mrs. Cochran has a class of women, and so
have I. Last Sabbath Mr. Cochran read one of your letters to the
congregation, and we learned from it how the work of the Lord goes
forward in your blessed churches. We praised the Lord, and then we
entreated him to bless our churches, and make them more spiritual,
for we are confident that his grace is sufficient for us all.
She visited Tehoma, in May, two months after the date of the
preceding, with her husband, Oshana, and two little children, and
gives the following account of their journey:--
"Through the favor of our heavenly Father, I have made a journey
into these mountains, rejoicing in the opportunity to labor for my
people.
