"I would that thou wert cold or hot."

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  Mr. Editor--In answer to the reply which you gave to my first letter I may say, I would that thou and thy christian brethren were not only almost, but altogether persuaded to be bold, active and zealous christians; you cannotbe too much so if your "zenl is according to knowledge." Methinks that you and they are going forward in the strength of Christ, to promote a revival of religion in the churches of New Haven, and that these efforts will be blessed, and the heavenly minded feelings which you and they had in 1821 will all return, difficulties vanish, and the mountain become a plain; and then you may see a little cloud arising, as in were, that shall overspread the horizon, and blessings not only descend upon the churches it your highly favored city, but all over this region, where the moral atmosphere has been too cold to have heavenly dews descend.
