Halland that at Johnstown is Established but both are still vacant tho' from, their situation if Supplied _with Good Men they w4 greatly Extend the Christian faith on this frontier, and prove a vast addition to the Church, which already begins to bear a respectable appearance in this Country, As for Johnstown, I can find no body for it, tho the Congregation last Sunday to hear the Lutheran minister were upwards of 500, of which 250 were Communicants. And Mr. Hall whose Sallary goes on, and who was to have been long since at Canajoharee has not been since heard of, I think enquiries should be made about him and that he should be directed to go there according to the Expectations of the Society.

In short we must make the most of the Missions already established till a more favorable period, and in the mean time make tryal of the Generosity of the people of England under the Countenance of the Bishops in favor of any farther Religious

, Establishments.

Iam intirely of your opinion with regard to the Lutheran Minister and shall after some further conversat2 with him most willingly mention the affair in my Letters, and would have you Do the same after you hear next from me to the end that some subscription may be set on foot or some assurance obtained previous to his undertaking it, to prevent disappointments, and indeed this point should be conducted in a private manner, to prevent the many obstructions that will be thrown in his Way by those to whom it would prove disagreable--I should not have mentioned the other Gentleman, who was desirous of taking orders but at his particular entreaty and I have some reason to think that your Observations thereon are Extremely Just.
