ck in this secluded spot. I
found a schoolroom, erected by General Beckwith, in a dilapidated state,
and the poor old schoolmaster very infirm from sickness and age. My desire,
therefore, is to raise funds either to greatly improve the schoolroom, or,
better still, to erect a neat temple in this consecrated spot, so as at
once to commemorate the piety and heroism of the dead, and to provide for
the wants of the living. The pastor of the parish, the Rev. J. Durand
Canton, has informed me how great a boon such a place would be. The Table
have also assured me of their hearty co-operation. Several subscriptions
have been kindly promised. F. A. Bevan, Esq., of the firm of Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., 54, Lombard Street, has kindly consented to
receive donations for the object: they may also be sent to me. Let each
reader of this volume join in the work, and so, by the divine blessing, it
shall be accomplished; and another object also, viz., that which makes the
church of the valleys a holy bond of union between Christian brethren in
both hemispheres; and between those whose church polity may differ, but
whose creed is one in all essential points, and who proclaim as the one
thing needful a living faith in a living Saviour, the one Mediator between
God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS.
