We would humbly entreat of you, that we may each one be permitted to do some great service for you, before we go. We do not mean great in the wisdom of our fellows, but let it be all that we can do. We cannot build a house for you, yet we have set our hearts upon doing something; and if it be your will, direct our minds to what it shall be, lest our minds should not be your mind
But let not one of us be barren or unfruitful. If we have indeed been redeemed by the blood of Christ, may we reckon that we must live to him. May the love of Christ constrain us, and may something come of our lives that shall be a blessing to the sons of men, before we go hence.
