 brethren farewell, Brother Sunday said, "Brothers, we feel very thankful to you for your visit to tell us more about the words of the Great Spirit. We will always pray for you that the Great Spirit may help you to instruct our poor Indian brethren what they must do to be saved; and we hope you will never forget us in your prayers, and that you will visit us as often as you can, for we shall always be glad to see you. This is all. Go in peace."

Saturday 17th. — Arrived at Hamilton Chapel, near Cobourg, where the Quarterly Meeting for this circuit commenced at 2 o'clock, when Elder Case preached from Matt. v. 20. When he got through, he called on me to speak, which I endeavoured to do with much fear and trembling. I always feel it a much greater cross to speak to a white congregation than to my native brethren; because the white people having been brought up in a Gospel land, and enjoying so many privileges; and I often feel discouraged, lest my speaking to the white people should be altogether in vain. But, however, if by telling them my christian experience, I can at all induce them to be more engaged in the service of their Lord and Master, I am ready to to declare it.

Sunday 18th. — At half-past 8 the love feast commenced. The Spirit of the Lord appeared to be amongst the people, and my soul rejoiced while hearing my white brethren declare the wonderful dealings of God to them. When the love feast was concluded, the holy Sacrament was administered to a number of communicants by the Rev. Mr. Case and the Rev. E. Ryerson. After which Mr. Case preached from Matt, xxviii. 19. Mr, Blackstock, Mr. Burham, and Mr. Ryerson exhorted, and Mr. Phelps closed the service by prayer. At half-past 4 I heard Mr. Burham preach from these words: "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature." I then spoke a few words; also the Rev. H. Biggar.
