gation was exceeding well dressed, but exceeding careless and ill-behaved. At six I preached in the church at Mount-Mellick, exceedingly crowded with hearers of quite another kind: They were all attention; and in the morning filled the preaching- house. Friday, 24. The church at Maryborough was far larger, and one of the most elegant that I have seen in the kingdom.

The God of peace and love was in the midst of us, and seemed to affect the whole assembly. Wed. 29. We had a large congregation in the morning. At breakfast and at tea, on these two days, I met all the society ; (eight or ten excepted ; ) and we greatly confirmed our love to each other. In the evening I preached to a larger congregation
