tant and blessed effort has
already achieved such good results out on the stormy seas. It rests with
us to contribute liberally to its maintenance."--The Archbishop of
Dublin.
"The undertaking is a blessed one, and will be accepted by our Heavenly
Father as an offering of true devotion."--The Bishop of London.
"I desire to express my most cordial sympathy with the active efforts of
the Mission, and my earnest hope that the public will liberally support
it."--The Bishop of Norwich.
"It does one's heart good to watch the benefit conferred by these
Mission smacks. God bless them! They go forth in the fulness of the
blessing of the Gospel of Christ."--The Bishop of Exeter.
"I have myself heard smacksmen speak in most grateful terms of what the
Mission has done for their class; and I recently heard one of the
largest owners state publicly that his employes had become 'better
servants, better men, better husbands and fathers, better in every way,'
through the work carried on amongst them while at sea."--The Duke of
Grafton, K.G.
"The only effectual attempt that has been made to counteract the work of
the _coper_ has been carried on through the agency of the Mission
smacks. It is not, as a rule, easy to estimate how much or how little
practical good is effected by missionary agencies, but here the case is
clear. I gladly add my own testimony to that of others, and say that, at
present, the Mission affords the only relief from the temptation and the
only remedy to the evils of the _copering_ system."--W. Burdett Coutts,
Esq., M.P.
"I look upon the Mission vessel as a blessing to the trade of the
port."--The Mayor of Great Grimsby.
"It is indeed an advantage for our fishermen at sea by means of these
vessels to enjoy the same privileges as we ourselves do on shore."--The
Mayor of Great Yarmouth.
