LETTER TO ONE OF HIS FLOCK, WHO HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO THE CHARGE OF A FEMALE SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY - Robert Murray Mcchene

Do what you can.

COLLACE, July 25, 1842.

DEAR FRIEND, —I have been laid aside for a short time and did not receive your letter till it was too late to send the communicant’s line, which you desired. I have no doubt Mr. B. would give you a token, however, even without a line. I am truly glad to hear that you are so fully employed, and earnestly trust that your labors may be owned by God. Souls are perishing every day, and our own entrance into eternity cannot be far distant. Let us, like Mary, “do what we can,” and no doubt God will bless it, and reward us openly. Sit under a living ministry if you can. Seek much personal holiness and likeness to Christ in all the features of his blessed character. Seek to be lamb-like, without which all your efforts to do good to others will be as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.

Pray for dear St Peter’s, that the dew may never cease to fall there; continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving. Ever truly, etc.
