This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations: and then shall the end come.—Matthew, xxiv. 14.

They are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.—II. Corinthians, viii. 23.

Amidst the wilderness they sought a home,

Where beasts of prey and men of murder roam,

And untamed Nature holds her revels wild.
