This letter from Dr. Mackay lets us know of the safe arrival of Mr. Jamieson at Tamsui:-- “Tamsui Formosa ,” December 31st 1883. “ Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson are here. They stepped on the shores of Formosa , cheerful, hopeful, and humble. I congratulate the Church of Canada . The girls’ school (built of stone and as large as Oxford College ) will soon be finished. The church in Bangkah will soon be opened: Thanks to Mrs. Mackay, Windsor . Eleven churches on the East coast will soon be completed: Thanks to Canada . The church at Sintiam will soon be re-opened: Thanks to the converts. We are today a year nearer home: Thanks ten thousand time to our adorable Redeemer. Soon all will be over. Then let me mount, and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies G.L. Mackay.
