ept down from Holyoke H

Fulfilling thus the word of prophecy, "Cursed be Cannan." After prayer,
the meeting Chose a committee--good and pious men-- A Presbyterian
Elder, Baptist deacon, A local preacher, three or four class-leaders,
Anxious inquirers, and renewed backsliders, A score in all--to watch the
river ferry, (As they of old did watch the fords of Jordan,) And cut off
all whose Yankee tongues refuse The Shibboleth of the Nebraska bill. And
then, in answer to repeated calls, I gave a brief account of what I saw
In Washington; and truly many hearts Rejoiced to know the President, and
you And all the Cabinet regularly hear The gospel message of a Sunday
morning, Drinking with thirsty souls of the sincere Milk of the Word.
Glory! Amen, and Selah! Here, at the Mission, all things have gone well
The brother who, throughout my absence, acted As overseer, assures me
that the crops Never were better. I have lost one negro, A first-rate
hand, but obstinate and sullen. He ran away some time last spring, and
hid In the river timber. There my Indian converts Found him, and treed
and shot him. For the rest, The heathens round about begin to feel The
influence of our pious ministrations And works of love; and some of them
already Have purchased negroes, and are settling down As sober
Christians! Bless the Lord for this! I know it will rejoice you. You, I
hear, Are on the eve of visiting Chicago, To fight with the wild beasts
of Ephesus, Long John, and Dutch Free-Soilers. May your arm Be clothed
with strength, and on your tongue be found The sweet oil of persuasion.
So desires Your brother and co-laborer. Amen! P.S. All's lost. Even
while I write
