Pictou, October 1, 1841.
My dear Friend,
In my last, I intimated to you my intention of making an additional tour in this Province. In the good providence of God, I have now performed this tour; and now briefly report concerning the same. I am happy to say, that all along on my way I met with the same good feeling in favour of our object, as I have noticed in former communications. Some existing societies have been visited, and about a dozen new ones formed on the present occasion. A list of the latter will be forwarded to you by a future post.
I have a meeting to attend in this place tomorrow, and one in West River the day following, and on the day following I set out for Cape Breton by way of Antigonish. I am now anxious to get my visitation to that Island completed as early as possible for the season is far advanced. If I have any time remaining on my return I shall visit some places in this quarter, but I think little time will remain on hand.
Your last Report has come to hand, and I have read it over. It is very interesting, the most so I think of all your Reports. There is more fruit reported in it, as it appears to me, than is noticed on any former occasion. This is a great subject for thanksgiving, and it is very encouraging to all whose eyes are on the circulation of the Bible, and the progress of the Kingdom of God. Let us go on sowing and praying, and hoping, and unquestionably our hopes will not be disappointed, although patience may be required. When the seed is largely put in we shall have ample rains, and in due time an abundant harvest.
I am, My dear Friend,
Yours Truly,
James Thomson.
