st Missionary
Society in New York._ It is delightful also to notice her
attachment to Christians of other denominations, and the gratitude
with which she remembered kindness received by herself when Providence
had cast her lot on what was truly missionary ground.

"Do you remember how much I used to say about our dear Methodist
Society in Antigua? and the three holy, harmless, zealous Moravian
brethren? and how the preachers gave each other the right hand of
fellowship, forgetting their differences, in that land of open
hostilities, on the kingdom of their common Lord? Thither the Lord
brought me from a land of entire barrenness, where, as far as I know,
a gospel sermon was never preached. Here I was brought into great
affliction, and to pass through the severest trial that I ever
experienced before or since.

"'The Lord brought me into this fold, a poor straggling lamb, who
had for five years herded among the goats; and little difference was
there between them and me, except that my soul longed after green
pastures and rejoiced to hear the shepherd's voice, and when I heard
it I knew it, though from one who did not belong to my original fold;
these good people nourished me with tenderness, bore with patience my
carnality. When my dear husband was taken ill, they wrestled for him
in prayer; Mr. Gilbert was every day with him; the Lord heard and gave
a joyful parting; yes, joyful, never did I experience such joy; then
they sympathized with and soothed the widowed heart, fed her with
promises, and in a measure established her: thus they wrought with God
in calling in one, and restoring another; never, never shall I forget
the labors of love of that dear little society.

"How many such stragglers as I may be wandering in both East and
West Indies, and may be restored by these precious missionaries. I owe
them, of my labors, more than others. I send you a bill for _fifty
pounds._ I have received eighteen copies of the Missionary
Magazine, as far as No. 9. I have got subscribers for them all, who
will continue; pay these, and send me what more numbers have been
published by the return of the Edinburgh packet, also eighteen
complete sets from the beginning. I hope to be successful in disposing
of them also. I suppose the sermons go to the same fund; send me a
hundred sermons, I will see to get them disposed of; send them single,
not bound, and of the best; perhaps they may pave the way for more to
follow;
