CHAPTER IX. |
ARRIVED at Munceytown in the afternoon, and found all well. Mr. Clench and his party were busily engaged in laying out the village lots for the Indian village at this place. The prospects at Munceytown are now more favourable, and there is every appearance of a reformation among the Chippeways and also among the Munceys. All those who have been opposed to Christianity, have nothing more to say a against the white man's worship. They now come to listen for themselves. — Wednesday, June 2nd.
Thursday 3rd. — Brothers Magee, Smith, and myself concluded to start for home this day. We accordingly made ready, and about noon we left Munceytown, and bade our friends farewell. Our brethren appeared to be sorry for leaving them, but as we wished to be at the Camp Meeting near the Credit on the 11th of this month, we had to hurry down this week. We requested that some one of the brethren from the Credit might come up and give them further instructions in religion.
Tuesday 8th. — Rode down with father to the Mohawk village. Called a few minutes on Mr. Luggar, the Church Missionary, who appeared friendly, but railed out against the Methodists for interfering, as he said, on his ground, where he had commenced preaching. He also said that the Methodist preachers had administered the communion to a notorious adulteress. Why does not Mr. L. remember that the Church of England Clergy have for a century past been in the habit of administering that holy ordinance to notorious drunkards,
