Of several interesting incidents connected with this work, I will
mention one. Mr. Gilmore, on his way to the settlement, called on a
pious lady, who lives fourteen miles from it, and told her of the
intended meeting. Her servant is the daughter of an Irish Catholic, who
lives at Breadalbane. The lady told her she must go to the meeting; and
directed her to ask permission for her sister, who lives in a place of
service adjoining, to accompany her. Leave being granted, the lady took
the girls into her room, and prayed for them most earnestly, that the
means of grace they were about to enjoy might be blessed to their
conversion. They attended during the meeting, and on going home from one
of the services they were accompanied by one of their former associates,
who had been lately converted; on their way she pressed on their minds,
with much earnestness, the truths they had been hearing; and before
parting with them, took them a little off the road, kneeled down on the
snow, and prayed fervently for their conversion. This, to them, was an
additional proof of the reality of the solemn truths they had just
heard. Before leaving the settlement, they called on Mr. F., and told
him the state of their minds, and he believes they returned to their
places converted characters.
