for the kingdom of God. The Lord has kindled a fire in Aghrim likewise. The last time but one that I was there, several were struck with
deep convictions, which continued till I came again. While I was meeting the society there, the governess of Mr. S *s children was struck ta
the ground, and in a short time filled with ‘peace and joy in the Holy
Ghost.’ The next morning his steward was cut to the heart, and fell
upon his knees in the midst of the sermon; as did Mr. S---- himself,
together with his wife, and great part of the congregation. The steward went home full of peace and love. This has set the whole society on
fire ; so that now every one is crying out, ‘What must I do to be saved?”
‘The same fire is kindled at Portarlington. I went there the next Sunday
after you. One then found a sense of God’s pardoning love; and last.
Saturday in the society some cried out, and some fell to the ground,
three of whom found peace to their souls.
“I was at Mount Mellick likewise the next Sunday after you, and the
power of God was present to heal. Two that were heavy laden, found
rest that night. The next time we met we scarce knew how to part.
We continued singing and praying till five persons received a clear manifestation of the love of God. Another found the same blessing while I
was preaching this morning. We spent some time afterward at James
Moss’s house, in praying with some that were under deep convictions ;
and two of them went home rejoicing in God their Saviour. I was now
informed of two more that were rejoicing in God; so that in Mount
Mellick twelve persons, in all, have found the ‘ peace that passeth all
understanding,’ since you left that place.
