It rained all the time; yet the congregation was large and attentive. Afterwards a decent woman, whom I never saw either before or since, desired to speak with me; and said, “I met you at Caladon.

From that moment I have been perfectly well.” If so, give God the glory.

In the road to and from Charlemount, I had a good deal of conversation with that amiable woman, Mrs. R. God has indeed dealt very mercifully with her; and her soul is at pre sent much alive. I have great hopes that she, and all her lovely family, will be patterns to all that are round about them. Thur. 2.-I went to Mr. Caulfield's, the Rector of Kille man, three miles from Charlemount.
