The _attendants_ of this comfort, were such as abundantly discovered that it was truly “joy in the Holy Ghost.”――――_Now_ she viewed divine truths as _living realities_; and could say, “I know these things are so, I feel they are true!”――_Now_ her soul was resigned to the divine will in the most tender points; so that when I said to her, What if God should take away your husband, (who was sick,) how do you think you could bear that? She replied, “He belongs to God, and not to me; he may do with him just what he pleases.”――_Now_ she had the most tender sense of the evil of sin, and discovered the utmost aversion to it.――_Now_ she could freely trust her _all_ with God for time and eternity. And when I queried with her, how she could be willing to die, and leave her little infant: and what she thought would become of it in case she should? She answered, “God will take care of it. It belongs to him.”――_Now_ she appeared to have the most humbling sense of her own unworthiness and inability to preserve herself from sin, and to persevere in holiness. And I thought I had never seen such an appearance of _ecstasy_ and _humility_ meeting in any one person. The consequents of this joy are no less desirable than its attendants. She since appears to be a most tender, broken-hearted, affectionate, devout, and humble Christian, as exemplary in life and conversation as any person in my congregation. March 10. Toward night the Indians met together of their own accord, and sang, prayed, and discoursed of divine things. At this time there was much affection among them. Some appeared to be melted with divine things, and others seemed much concerned for their souls. I baptized the _woman_ mentioned in my journal of last Lord’s-day; who appeared to be in a devout, and excellent frame of mind. My house being thronged with people in the evening, I spent the time with them, till my nature was almost spent.――They are so unwearied in religious exercises, and unsatiable in their thirsting after _Christian knowledge_, that I can sometimes scarce avoid labouring so, as greatly to exhaust my strength. March 19. Some of the persons that went with me to the Forks of Delaware, having been detained there by the dangerous illness of one of their company, returned home this day. Whereupon my people met together of their own accord, to give thanks to God for his preserving goodness to those who had been absent from them for several weeks, and recovering mercy to him that had been sick.
