I have need to pray daily, “Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe.” The Lord bless you and make you a blessing to many. Go on sowing the good seed patiently, and trust the Lord for the crop. Some seed, perhaps, may spring up after your sowing time is over; you may not know every instance in which you are now made useful. Believe me to be your very affectionate friend and brother,
John Newton.
