*Friday, November 22. I rode to Mr. Tennent’s and from thence to Crosweeksung. Oh that I could fill up all my time, whether in the house or by the way, for God! I was enabled this day to give up my soul to God, and put all my concerns into his hands: and found real consolation in the thought of being entirely at his disposal and having no will or interest of my own. I have received my _all_ from God! Oh that I could return my _all_ to God! Surely God is worthy of my highest affection, and most devout adoration; he is infinitely worthy, that I should make him my last end, and live for ever to him: Oh that I might never more, in any one instance, live to myself! Lord’s-day, November 24. I preached from the story of Zaccheus. When I insisted upon the _salvation_ that _comes to the sinner_, upon his becoming a true believer, the word seemed to be attended with divine power.――――Numbers were much affected;――former convictions were revived, one or two persons newly awakened;――and a most affectionate engagement appeared among them universally. November 26. I was favoured with freedom and fervency in my discourse. Many wept affectionately, and scarce any appeared unconcerned. The influence that seized the audience appeared gentle, and yet deeply affected the heart. It excited in the persons under convictions of their lost state, heavy groans and tears:――――and in others who had obtained comfort, a sweet and humble melting. It seemed like the gentle but steady showers that effectually water the earth. The persons lately awakened, were deeply distressed, and appeared earnestly ♦solicitous to obtain an interest in Christ: and some of them, in anguish of spirit, said, “They knew not what to do, nor how to get their wicked hearts changed.” ♦ “solicitious” replaced with “solicitous” November 28. After public service was over, I asked one of the Indians who wept most affectionately, “What she now wanted?” She replied, “Oh to be with Christ! She did not know how to stay.” This was a blessed refreshing season to the religious people in general. The Lord Jesus Christ seemed to manifest his divine glory to them, as when _transfigured_ before his disciples. And they were ready universally to say, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” The influence of God’s word was not _confined_ to those who had given evidences of being truly gracious, though I calculated my discourse for, and directed it _chiefly_ to such: but it appeared to be a season of divine power in the whole assembly; so that most were, in some measure affected. And one aged man in particular, lately awakened, was now brought under deep and pressing concern, and was earnestly inquisitive “how he might find Jesus Christ.” God seems still to vouchsafe the influence of his blessed Spirit, in all our meetings for divine worship.
