professed Baptists, but taught by a man who could not decipher a letter, who appeared wholly ignorant of the truth, and whose life was at variance with it. After many conversations with him, in which he seemed impervious to the light, I affectionately warned him to desist from preaching, lest he should entail the curse so solemnly denounced Gal. i. 8, 9. Meeting with little encouragement in this part of the island, on the first Friday after my arrival I rode to "Golden Grove," seven miles distant, where I preached, and returned the same day. At this place I had an opportunity of addressing 100 persons, and, deeming it an important field for labour, I again rode thither early on the following sabbath. Here I found some living sparks. An old man who had come over with his master at the American revolution, had been in the habit of reading his Bible to all who would hear him, which he could do tolerably well; he had taught them to sing many of Watts's Hymns; and was accustomed to read to them from a good book written by Guthrie, an old Scotch divine. Lydia, his daughter-in-law, at an inquiry meeting, answered the questions which were put to her very satisfactorily, and I thought her a suitable subject for baptism, when I found that her character was exemplary. The old man, I found, was overseer of the whole property, which was extensive, during his master's absence; and Lydia was intrusted with the care of the proprietor's house, and much valuable property. What a proof that God's servants are the best servants! At that time I regarded my health as established, I was animated in spirit, and among this people I laboured on the sabbath until the evening, when suddenly, whilst preaching, I was taken ill, and was obliged immediately to seek the open air, abruptly closing the service in which we were engaged. I soon discovered that I was once more under the influence of violent fever, and after a restless night, though treated with the utmost attention, agreeable to the instructions of the proprietor, H. Hunter, Esq., I made the best of my way to "Freeman's Hall," where I remained an invalid thirteen days. I had no medical aid; but the medicines I had with me, and Graham's popular work, proved invaluable. My stay at St. Salvador from this period was indeed a season of suffering; the fever was intermittent, but would come on again and again with chilliness, succeeded by ardent and continued heat, throbbing of the temple, continued restlessness, unquenchable thirst, a distressing oppression at the chest, difficulty in breathing, and nausea. My illness, I am convinced, was protracted by the stagnant water, gathered from among the bushes, which we were compelled to drink, and which was deeply impregnated with putrid vegetable matter: there was, indeed, a spring one mile distant; but of this we were not informed until the eve of our departure, although we
