WESLEY'S Aug. 1779. were setting the chaise right, the horses ran back almost to the town; so that we did not reach Llyngwair till between two and three o'clock. Mr. Bowen was not returned from a journey to Glasgow. However, I spent a very comfortable evening with Mrs. Bowen and the rest of the family. Wed. 18. I preached about ten in Newport church; and then we went on to Haverfordwest. Here we had a very differ- ent congregation, both as to number and spirit ; and we found the society striving together for the hope of the Gospel. Thurs- day, 19. We went over to Fracoon, one of the loveliest places in Great Britain. The house stands in a deep valley, sur- rounded with tall woods, and them with lofty mountains.

Many of us met at noon, and spent a solemn hour in intercession for our King and country. In the evening the House was thoroughly filled with people of all denominations.

The con- gregation came from many miles round ; and many of them were greatly refreshed. While we rode to Haverford after dinner, I think it wasfull as hot as it uses to be in Georgia ; till about five o'clock a violent shower exceedingly cooled the air ; but it ceased in halfan hour, and we had then such a congrega- tion as was scarce ever seen here before ; and though many of the Gentry were there, yet a solemn awe spread over the whole assembly.
