Excerpt from Letters From Broosa, Asia Minor: With an Essay on the Prospects of the Heathen and Our Duties to Them

He then entered Amherst College, where he graduated in 1830, at which time he entered the Theo logical Seminary at Andover, Mass., where he com pleted a full course of study during the summer of 1833. In the early part of his course, he thought of laboring in the Church of his fathers, in his native State; but during his residence at Andover, his attention was directed to a foreign field. In a letter to the Rev. Mr. How, dated Andover, J anuary loth, 1832, he says You are pro bably aware of my intention in regard to the future. If Providence spares my life and health, I hope to spend my days in some foreign land. To this conclusion I have come, after much deliberation and prayer. The particular field I cannot at present specify, nor can I state the time of my departure. Time and circumstances must determine in relation to both. The principal rea son for this course is this: I think it will enable me to accomplish more good - not that its immediate effects will be as great, but its ultimate and more remote bear ings will probably be more extensive and important. When I think of the condition of the heathen, and of the success which has attended efforts in their behalf, I long to be in the field, The Lord seems to smile in a won derful manner on all these exertions, and by so doing.
