I am very sorry to learn that some
brethren of the chnrches to which I
sion work are dissatisned with the
action of the Board in giving me the
appointment. " I understand they
think the Board did wrong in calling
me from my field to the . Missionary
work. 1 write this hoping to satisfy
those brethren that the: State Mis
sion Board is clearly not at fault in
the matter.1; I know several of the
members of the Board, and have no
idea that they thought of offering
me the appointment until they beard
that I would probably accept. What
I know of the transaction -ia-this !
my name was ? mentioned to the
Board by a brother, not; a member
of it,,with Intimations that my ser
vices could probably oe - secured, as
I wished to live in the op country.
Then the Board acted upon tbe mafr
ter and gave me the appointment.
I was then informed by a friend what
had been done, and asked what I
wonld do.'. I replied that I would aol
cept, bavin g thought' much of the
Mission work before. The Board was
hot able to, nor did It ofier any spe4
cial inducements. The whole matter:
was left entirely with me r and there
fore; if blame is to be charged against
any party; that party ia i myself.
hope s these" few; words will satisfy;
those brethren, for I do not want the
board to be crippled in its efforts to
do good,' as' it will be by having
wrong action charged against it; . So
far as I myself am concerned,! acted
conscientiously' from, the - beginning,
and while it was no easy matter to
give up my churches, ' (for I loved
them dearly,) yet I do not feel that
l did wrong. My great desire ia to
be useful and do much good ; and I
was of the opinion that I could ;do
more good In this field than where I
was then laboring, The destitution
of this country in the way of Baptist
preaching satisfied me that lor some
one was greatly needed here. With
these 'considerations and others. I
felt it my daty to com and , there
fore am here- l hope doing good.
