Need of a Second Paid Lay Visitor.
There is, however, employment for a second missionary to visit the pensioners who are found without the Hospital every day, perambulating all parts of the town and park, where they may be freely conversed with on their eternal interests. At present one missionary is unable to attend to all which is required. The interior of the building is full employment for one lay agent, and the pensioners out of doors would be full employment for a second. On wet days, they would be to be met with too numerously by far in public-houses, where, with judgment, they might be followed and conversed with. | |
