After several years of endeavour she has succeeded,
and, even as these last pages are written, we hold in our hands the
account of the arrival of the new Bishop at Kwamagwaza.
So it is that the work never perishes, but the very extinction of one
light seems to cause the lighting of many more; and thus it is that the
word is being gradually fulfilled that the Gospel shall be preached to
all nations, and that "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
Footnotes:
{f:6} At first sight this seems one of the last misfortunes likely to
have befallen a godly gentleman of Charlestown; but throughout the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Algerine pirates swept the seas
up to the very coasts of England, as Sir John Eliot's biography
testifies. Dr. James Yonge, of Plymouth, an ancestor only four removes
from the writer, was at one time in captivity to them; and there was
still probability enough of such a catastrophe for Priscilla Wakefield to
introduce it in her "Juvenile Travellers," written about 1780.
{f:130} Articles of dress.
{f:133} The Judsons always use the universal prefix Moung, which we
omit, as evidently is a general title.
{f:137} All along in these letters, written journal fashion, it is to be
observed how careful and even distrustful Mr. Judson is.
{f:221} Merino sheep, so called in Spain because the breed came from
beyond the sea (_Mer_), having been introduced from England by Constance,
daughter of John of Gaunt, and wife of Juan II.
