To Christopher Hopper Date: LONDON, December 21, 1770. MY DEAR BROTHER, We are sure God is wise in all His ways and gracious in all His works. But many times the reasons of them are past finding out. We can only say, 'It is the Lord; let Him do what seemeth Him good.' I wish that good young man Mr. Hill could be prevailed upon to cast in his lot among us. He is upright of heart, and bids very fair to be an useful labourer in our Lord's vineyard. I am, with love to Sister Hopper, Your affectionate friend and brother.
