| Description | Expenditure of large sums must be done only with agreement of all brethren and preferably the approval of Committee at home; missionary work will not suffer by journey to Colombo for the annual meetings; spiritual benefits will outweigh disadvantages; if asked by the authorities work at Fort church, Jaffna, should be continued; help should be given towards the maintenance of public worship among the English at the station; the Committee "wish you to live on the most friendly terms with the missionaries of other denominations, while abstaining from such communion with them in public worship as would be inconsistent with your duty as a minister of the Church of England" [copy]. |
