John Burnett, of Cork, and Rev. Robert Newton. The Rev. Mr. Watson then introduced me to the meeting and read part of our introductory letters. I was then requested to address the meeting, which I did through much weakness. A collection was made for the Society. There appeared to be good feeling among the people, and there was much cheering. After the meeting, we were kindly invited to make our lodgings at the Mission House, at 77 Hatton Garden. The friends appeared glad to see us. and seemed anxious to minister to our comfort. I had very strange feelings on entering the Missionary meeting this day, and was enabled to bless God for seeing the old primitive Wesleyan Methodists. I felt to rejoice in seeing them engaged in the good cause of Missions, and to hear of their success in their Missions. There were a great many things that attracted my notice in this great city.
