immediate consideration. I have visited some of these churches, and the people seemed exceedingly glad. Could an itinerant be supported for a year or two, he would then, it is likely, not need further support. There are some young persons of good natural abilities who, with a little training, would be of immense service. I have met with such young men, and longed to be able to point out a seminary to them, whither they might have gone for a season.[B] I purpose, God willing, two months hence, to spend a week or two in this district, and shall transmit the result to you. Itinerants are much wanted in this country, on account of the scattered population, bad roads, &c. I know one township in which there had not been preaching for seven years: a missionary paid them a visit, and the whole township turned out to hear. He visited them a year afterwards; but during the interval they had not heard a sermon. The main efforts have been made by a very pious and zealous young man of the name of Hayt, who has been very active in establishing Sunday-schools, and supplying families with copies of the Scriptures. Without missionaries, however, these schools will most assuredly languish and die. [Footnote B: Who, on the perusal of this, does not feel a desire to assist these young men to a seminary? And who that knows our brother Gilmore, but will be led to conclude that he is the man who is most likely to become their tutor? I intend immediately to write to him to inquire how much it would require there to educate six young men; and shall then, if spared, appeal to the public in their behalf.]
