under his gracious protection, and prosper the good work you have in view; may the kingdom of the Redeemer flourish in this Island; and may the mild spirit of the Gos- pel, with the fair fruits of peace, brotherly love, and prac- tice of true religion, extensively prevail, and distinguish its inhabitants.

This is the fervent prayer, and this the unfeigned wish of, Gentlemen, your affectionate Brother and humble

servant, Charles N ova Scotia.

These challenging words, combined with the fervent petitions of the Bishop’s prayer, are as well worth heeding in 1959 as they were in 1789. Aided by the work and witness of the Parish of New London “may the kingdom of the Redeemer” continue to “flourish in this Island.”
