My Dear Christian Friends, My impressions that God would have me labour among you in His name has deepened into a solemn earnest conviction. Guided by the advice of my Father and of several friends in the ministry, and far above all I trust and believe by the counsel of the Great Master anxiously sought by me in prayer; I have resolved, not withstanding the overwhelming responsibility that I feel I thereby undertake, to accept your kind and cordial invitation in which the congregation has so generously concurred. In doing so I must entreat you to sustain me by your sympathy, by your co-operation and by your prayers, so that I may be enabled to live and to preach worthily of the high vocation wherewith I am called...........

I am, My Dear Friends, Yours with sincere esteem and Christian affection. Urijah R. Thomas
