To the first church and Society in Hartland.


I have received your united call to undertake the work of the gospel ministry among you. After a serious and rayerful consideration of the subject, with the advice of some of my acquaintance in the ministry, I feel it to be my duty to give the follow- in : answer.


The work of the gospel ministry is important and arduous. The eternal welfare of souls depends, under Cod, on the performance of this work. The duties of a minister of Christ are vastly important & often difficult. Were I to consult temporal ease 1 should decline the work

Your union in matters relative to my settlement among you, give me a hope of being instrumental in some good in this part of the vineyard of our Lord. And has he not by his Holy Spirit made the fields white already to harvest? I do therefore comply with your invita- tion and engage, if I should be placed over you in the
