Let our brethren in the new world, look and stare at this, especially our anti-missionary friends ! Be it known unto them, that in the year 1653, in the Welsh association held at Abergavenny, county of Monmouth, South Wales, collections were made, when the Welsh church subscribed to raise a fund for mission- ary purposes. Their plan was, for the messengers of every church to mention a certain sum, and bind themselves to bring that sum with them to the next association. For instance, Swansea, £5...; Llantrisaint, £2 10s. ; Carmarthen, £2 10s. No one was compelled to give any thing, neither was any mes- senger ever blamed for making such engagements, but was cheerfully assisted by his brethren to fulfil them. This is "only a specimen of the commencement of the mis- sionary cause in this region. The next year, we find that the churches had more than doubled that sum. Llantrisaint gave five pounds sterling; which was no small sum, at that time, in the Welsh mountains. Many branches have sprung out of this root, which are now like the cedars in Lebanon, exceedingly high; so that the heavenly wind shakes them so powerfully, that the seed is carried to a great distance.
