child; leading me in spirit, to contemplate the awful con-
dition both of the house of Judah and Israel, who are trod-
den under foot until the fulness of the Gentiles. The
subject I was led to swell on, was these words of Jesus,
And He shall set the sheep on His right Hand, but the
goats on His left. I could not forbear remarking, what
a solemn aspect the Indians wore, and especially the
women, who sat pensively weeping, paying great attention
to the sentences, as they flowed from my lips. I never
had an Interpreter before this day, and was astonished
how the words stopped as soon as the sentence was finish-
ed, which confirmed me that Jesus Christ lived in me, and
spake through my mouth. I have marveled at the assist-
ance of my Gracious Master, this day more than any
other: because He stopped the stream, and caused it to
flow just as was necessary for them to receive, through
the interpretation of the Tuskarow Indian. After I had
given a suitable portion to my Indian brethren and sisters,
I then addressed the white people present, and had great
liberty to pray with each; believing the Lord would an-
swer my ardent supplication in behalf of such as desired
to be instructed.

In the evening I held the third meeting at Vernon, in
a new large barn, belonging to my kind friend Calvin
Young
, which contorted his spirit among the rest who
were deeply affected under the Power of that God, who
sends by whom He will and uses the most feeble instru-
ments to glorify His Name, which is had in remembrance
by all who revere His Majestic Person, for His Mercy,
Love and Justice. This was large gathering, and my
heart was filled with thankfulness that the Lord had fur-
nished me with strength to go from one part to another
this day, and at the close to enable me, in His Fear, to
testify, Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all Her
paths peace, thus Wisdom was honoured with the Lord
my God, who has prepared my way, and given me an in-
crease of Faith in Him for this people, whom my lot is
cast among.
