God who enables me to be faithful. I enjoyed more resolution for God, and more refreshment of spirit, than I have been favored with for many weeks past.

"Feb. 17. I discoursed from Acts viii, 5-8. A divine influence seemed to attend the word. Sundry of the Indians here appeared to be somewhat awakened, and manifested a concern by their earnest attention, tears, and sobs. My people from Crosweek sung, continued with them day and night, repeating and inculcating the truths I had taught them: and sometimes prayed and sung psalms among them; discoursing with each other, in their hearing, of the great things God had done for them, and for the Indians from whence they came: which seemed to take more effect upon them, than when they directed their discourses immediately to them. "18. I preached to an assembly of Irish people, near fifteen miles distant from the Indians.

"19. I preached to the Indians again, after having spent a considerable time in conversing with them privately. There appeared a great solemnity, and some concern and affection among the Indians belonging to these parts, as well as a sweet melting among those who came with me. Divers of the Indians here seemed to have their prejudices re moved, and appeared well disposed to hear the word of God.

"20. I preached to a small assembly of High Dutch people, who had seldom heard the Gospel, and were (some of them at least) very ignorant; but divers of them have lately been put upon an inquiry after the way of salvation. They gave wonderful attention, and some of them were much affected, and afterwards said (as I was informed) that they

never had been so much enlightened about the way of salvation in their whole lives before. They requested me to tarry with them, or come again and preach to them. And it grieved me that I could not comply with their request, for I could not but be affected with their circumstances; they being as 'Sheep not having a shepherd.'

"21. I preached to a number of people, many of them Low Dutch. Sundry of the forementioned High Dutch attended the sermon, though eight or ten miles distant from their houses. Divers of the Indians also belonging to these parts, came of their own accord (with my people from Crosweeksung) to the meeting: two in particular, who on the last Sabbath opposed and ridiculed Christianity.

"22. I preached to the Indians. They seemed more free from prejudice, and more cordial to Christianity than before, and some appeared much affected.

"My spirits were supported, though my bodily strength was much wasted. O that God would be gracious to the souls of these poor Indians.

"God has been very gracious to me this week: he has enabled me to preach every day: and has given me some assistance, and an encouraging prospect of success in almost every sermon. Blessed be his name. Divers of the white people have been awakened this week; sundry of the Indians much cured of the prejudices and jealousies they had conceived against Christianity, and some seemed to be really awakened.”

The next day he left the Forks of Delaware, to return to Crosweek sung; and preached by the way every day, excepting one; and was several times greatly assisted; he had much inward comfort, and

earnest longings to fill up his time with of God.

"Lord's-day, March 2. Some of my went up to the Forks of Delaware with now returned, were accompanied by t Indians belonging to the Forks, who ha me a speedy visit. They can scarce go now, but they will meet with Christian tion, whereby they may be both inst awakened.

"I know of no assembly of Christians, seems to be so much of the presence of brotherly love so much prevails, as in n gregation: although not more than nine they were worshipping devils and dumb the power of Pagan darkness and s Amazing change! effected by nothin divine power and grace!

"Their present situation is so compac modious, that they are quickly called to only the sound of a conk-shell, (a shell a periwinkle) so that they have frequent ties of attending religious exercises publ seems to be a great means, under God, alive their impressions of divine things.

"March 6. I walked alone in the ev enjoyed comfort in prayer, beyond wha late enjoyed: my soul rejoiced in my state. I was delighted with the though ing and enduring hardness for God: and God that he 'Never would leave me nor fo

can perceive their knowledge in religion increasesdaily. And what is still more desirable, the divine influence among them, appears still to continue. The divine presence seemed to be in the assembly this evening. Some who are Christians indeed, were melted with a sense of the divine goodness, and their own barrenness and ingratitude. Convictions also appeared to revive in several; so it might justly be called 'An evening of power.'

"Lord's-day, March 9. I preached from Luke x, 38-42. The word of God was attended with energy. Numbers were affected and concerned to obtain the one thing needful. Several that have given good evidences of being truly gracious, were much affected with a sense of their want of spirituality;. and saw the need they stood in of growing in grace. And most that had had any impression of divine things in times past, now felt those impressions revived.

"In the afternoon, I proposed to have catechised -in my usual method. But while we were engaged in the first prayer, in the Indian language, (as usual) a great part of the assembly was so much moved, that I thought it proper to omit the questions, and insist upon the most practical truths.

"There appeared to be a powerful influence in the congregation. Those, truly pious, were so deeply affected with a sense of their own barrenness, and their own unworthy treatment of their blessed Redeemer, that they looked on him as pierced by themselves, and mourned, yea, some of them were in bitterness as for a first-born.-Some poor awakened sinners also appeared to be in anguish of soul to obtain an interest in Christ. So that there was a great mourning in the assembly; many heavy

groans and tears! and one or two pers come among us, were considerably awa "After public worship many came to where we sung and discoursed; and the God seemed here also to be in the midst

"While we were singing, there was on man mentioned in my journal of Februa I may venture to say, was 'Filled with jo able and full of glory,' and could not but in prayer and praises to God before us al ny tears, crying sometimes in English, times in Indian, 'O blessed Lord, do com O do take me away, do let me die and Christ! I am afraid if I live I shall sin do let me die now! O dear Jesus, do com stay, I cannot stay! O how can I live in O let me never sin any more!'-In this continued some time, uttering these and expressions incessantly.

"When she had a little recovered, I as Christ was now sweet to her soul? W turning to me with tears in her eyes, a the tokens of deep humility, she said, 'I times heard you speak of the goodnes sweetness of Christ, that he was better t world. But O! I knew nothing what yo never believed you! I never believed now I know it is true!'-I answered, ar see enough in Christ for the greatest c She replied, 'O enough, enough! for all t in the world, if they would but come.' I asked her, if she could not tell them of ness of Christ: turning herself about to s
