HANDLINGAR TILL GEORGE SCOTTS VERKSAMHET I SVERIGE I 6 7
tardiness; the love of Christ constraining them to help, as far as
possible, everything connected with the advancement of his glory,
is or ought to be impulse sufficient.
As regards other parts of the United States, I think it proper
to notice that my plans embrace the following places: Baltimore,
Washington, Philadelphia, Albany, Saratoga, Quebec, Montreal,
Boston, from which place I must, please God, leave for England
by the beginning of September. It is therefore most desirable that
friends from other parts willing to cast their gifts into this treasury,
may be induced to transmit to the Bible Society House of New
York their much-needed and highly prized donations.
It is respectfully submitted to those ministers of religion or
influential members of churches, who have made themselves acquainted
with the subject, whether they would not do well to aid the
’single-handed stranger’ by taking up contributions in their respective
circles and remitting the proceeds with as little delay as possible to
New York.
It would be presumptious to talk of the gratification which I
shall feel by knowing that the appeal is not made in vain; but He
»whose I am and whom I serve» is not indifferent to this matter,
and He can and will reward all that is done in His name and for
His sake, for He loveth a cheerful giver.
With sincere gratitude and esteem for all the members of Christ’s
body in this interesting land, I subscribe myself their unworthy
friend and brother.

this country, I beg once more to trouble you ere I take my
departure for my field of labor.
In many of the places I have visited, the regret was expressed
that the immediate contributions for Stockholm mission were not
larger than they proved to be, and an assurance given that addi-
