| Abstract | H. Humphrey letter to Justin Perkins in which Humphrey writes regarding what they have heard of Perkins' mission, saying that when he left America the churches little thought that the way of the Lord would be so well prepared among the Nestorians. He expresses his hopes that the Lord will bless Perkins and goes on to write regarding what Perkins' should expect. He discusses the likelihood that Perkins will encounter difficulties due to "the god of this world," presumably referring to the prevalence of the Islamic faith. He discusses "the drought" in American churches regarding the Holy Spirit and interests in missions and notes his own improved health. |
