FromThe American Sentinel, Vol. 7, No. 47

A FRIEND in Sierra Leone, says in a private letter that “the ministers of the various denominations and other gentlemen waited on the governor with a memorial, praying for a better observance of the ‘Lord’s day,’ and more especially to prohibit vessels from landing here on Sunday, or to discharge or load their cargoes.” What would be the result of the “praying” to the governor, our correspondent was not able to tell at the time of his writing.

So in far off Africa as well as in this country, the ministers, who above all others should be praying to the Lord for help in the work to which they have been ordained, are “praying the governor.” Will so-called Christians ever learn that their strength is in God and not in governors?
