Laurie, Thomas, 1821-1897

"By a Returned Missionary"

I am very happy that my father and friends brought me on my
way in willingness of soul. From the day that I left my own country,
in every place that I have entered, until now, my heart has been
excited to praise my Guide and my Deliverer, and I have also been
grateful to my teachers who brought me to labor in a desolate
vineyard, joyfully, I, who am so weak, and such a great sinner. In
all the various circumstances in which I have been, your counsels
have been of great benefit to me.
"I think you will be glad to know that the gospel door is wide open
here. You and your friends will pray that the Lord of the harvest
would send forth laborers into his harvest.
"We left the city of Oroomiah, May 6th. We were ten souls--Hormezd,
of Aliawa, Sagoo, of Geog Tapa, Matlub, the Tehomian, Guly, and
little Gozel, Oshana and his brother, our two little girls, and
myself. May 8th, we reached Memikan, and remained there three days.
"It was our first Sabbath in the mountains. I met that company of
women for whom our departed Mrs. Rhea used to labor. May 12th, we
left Memikan, and went up to the tops of the snowy mountains of
Gawar.
