“I am deeply interested in the 300,000 Greeks who have, during the last few years, emigrated to America. Already I send tracts to many cities, and am acquainted with a few believers who formerly attended our meetings here. I have tried often to interest our brethren in these men.... It seems to me that providentially these men are removed from the priestly influence of their native land, and it seems to me a grand opportunity for believers to preach the gospel to them, as they all have in their hearts a desire to eventually return to Greece. What a grand thing it would be if they returned as believers in our Lord. How strange if, whilst living in a professed Christian country, they be left to die or return here in ignorance.
“I write you these thoughts in hopes that you may stir up some of our brethren there to their duty towards these poor men.”
H. D.
