ARRIVAL OF MR. NURSE IN AFRICA.
Mr. Miller writes: “I am very glad to be able to announce to you the arrival of Bro. Nurse from America to join our work in Western Africa. His voyage was rather longer than had been expected, and he doubtless grew impatient as the ship neared this place, and stood several days under the silent influence of a calm.
“Yesterday was Thanksgiving-day with you at home—not less so with him and his mother, from whom he had been separated for many years, as they met in warm embrace. How freely the tears rolled down the cheeks of that overjoyed mother, as she looked upon her son returned to her and the ‘dark continent,’ a missionary of the Gospel to assist in lifting up degraded, perishing mankind. Bro. Nurse is a little worn-out from his long voyage, but will soon get well rested, and we shall leave for Sherbro.”
