A few more days of trial and I shall be admited to join with them in this blissful employment! "O what eternal joys await the christian mariner He enters the celestial gates Where endless pleasures are".Wed May 13th I guess) You see dear Lucy that you have not been forgotten by me during this long silence and I must confess that I am not altogether justifiable for having so long held my peace. Human nature is hard to be entirely overcome and 'tis a part of my nature to wait for a more convenient season to do the things which ought to be immediately attended to --I believe that in our last communication we expressed hopes that God would come and help even us with an outpouring of His Spirit; the ever this wicked people might see his salvation.- and has he disappointed our hopes? While we were speaking after to one another did he not open the windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing? And what suitable return shall we make unto him for his unspeakable goodness. How shall we so wait upon him that he shall continue to show is favor and "rebuke the devourer for our sakes"? How shall I wait patiently upon God
