change of scene, we experienced an increase of affliction. My dear wife, the child's wet nurse, and our servant boy, were immediately subjected to the fever; and unable as we were to provide for our disconsolate babe, it required the exercise of faith cheerfully to acquiesce in the divine disposal of our concerns. We _were troubled_, but _not distressed_; and our compassionate God, who knew how much we could bear, and delights to bind up the wounds which in mercy he inflicts, almost entirely independent of our agency, sent us, that very night, a suitable nurse for our child, who has since proved to us a blessing. My dear wife was speedily restored to her former state of convalescence, and after a week I was permitted to rise from my bed, much reduced in body, yet, I would hope, strengthened in my resolutions to love and serve the Saviour. My recovery was rapid, and on the 30th of October I again embarked with my family for St. Salvador. The health of all was much promoted by the passage, and when I landed, Monday, November 3, contrasting my bodily state with that under which I had left the island, I was filled with gratitude, my peace seemed like the beautiful canopy stretched over my head, unsullied with a cloud, and abundant as the waves of the sea. I was immediately put in possession of a house, unoccupied by its owner (Mr. Henry Armbrister), on an estate called "Freeman's Hall:" where, unmolested, I could hold meetings whenever I was able; I adored the goodness of God who thus disposed the planters to aid and encourage me in my work, and longed for their salvation as well as that of their dependents.

I did not merely tell them that there was a God who made and upheld them, who knew all their ways, and would bring them to judgment. I did not merely endeavour to expose the evil of fornication, drunkenness, lying, stealing, &c. I told them of Him who died for sinners. The doctrines of the total depravity of the human heart, the necessity of an atonement, the efficacy of the blood of Christ, the loveliness and suitableness of Jesus as an all-sufficient Saviour, the exceeding sinfulness and awful consequences of rejecting him, justification by faith, and the reward of eternal life, as the _free gift_ of God for the sake of his dear Son, were the themes which I most earnestly endeavoured to press home upon their consciences, but I could discover no evidences of relentings for sin, no meltings of heart at the recital of a Saviour's sufferings, no emotions of gratitude for a Saviour's love. Their hearts were inaccessible. Almost all were
