Thus, from those diminutive beginnings which we have transiently surveyed, we saw reason to adore the infinite wisdom of God in directing our steps to the island of Nevis and we were constrained to pause, and say, W but has God wrought! These early beginnings appeared to our views in a double light; they were rewards for our past exertions, and promises of future success. They taught us to perse vere in the path in which we had trodden, and encouraged us to believe that we had obtained, in that department of duty, the approbation of our God.
Nor were these conceptions imaginary and delusive. The progress of subsequent years has justified the conclusions which we then formed, and has taught us that nothing is im possible with God. Every year has added to their numbers.
