He pointed out the nature of baptism, and the duty of godfathers and godmothers; and enforced the necessity of regeneration to qualify a person for his entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

Rode ten miles out of town to Mr. Amies', where I preached to a small congregation from Acts viii. 35. It was a solemn
