Thence I went to Baptist Mills, and declared Him whom God “hath exalted to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel and remission of sins.” Returning to J--~-n H , we found his voice was lost, and his body weak as that of an infant. But his soul was in peace, full of love, and “ rejoicing in hope of the glory of God.” The women of our society met at seven. During our prayer, one of them fell into a violent agony; but soon after began to cry out, with confidence, “My Lord and my God!” Saturday 5, I preached at the desire of an unknown correspondent, on those excellent words, (if well understood as recommending faith, resignation, patience, meekness,) * Be still, and know that I am God.” Sun. 6.--I preached in the morning to five or six thousand people, on, “ Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (The same words on which I preached the next day; and, on Wednesduy, at Baptist Mills.)
