Such appeals came very frequently from Canada, causing much sadness, as

but little encouragement could be held out to such projects. In the

first place, the danger attendant upon such expeditions was so fearful,

and in the second place, our funds were so inadequate for this kind of

there were those whose continual coming, like the poor widow in the

Gospel, could not be denied.
