Sunday 12th. — After morning prayers, Mr. Crawford and I attended the Sunday School at 11 a. m. The Rev. A. Torry preached to us from the parable of the wedding garment. We had a precious and powerful time. Assembled for prayer meeting in the evening.
Tuesday 14th. — Started this morning with my father for Mr. George Ryerson's, who had kindly invited me to spend two or three weeks with him in order that I might study the English Grammar.
Wednesday 15th. — In the afternoon arrived at Mr. Ryerson's, and commenced my studies in the evening.
Friday 31st. — Having spent sixteen days with Mr. George Ryerson, endeavouring to improve in the English language, which I found a dry study, I prepared this day for returning home on the morrow. Mr. Ryerson and family have treated me with the greatest kindness, for which I feel truly thankful, and for the pains Mr. Ryerson has taken to instruct me. I pray that he may not lose his reward.
Sunday 2nd. — This was a day of rejoicing, not only to myself, but I trust to all my Indian Brethren who attended Divine Worship. At the commencement of our religious services, Mr. G. Ryerson spoke to us from the 1 Cor. xiii., and after one or two Indian exhortations were given, the meeting closed. In the class meeting the Lord poured out his Holy Spirit in a wonderful manner, so that many fell to the floor without strength to rise, others, clapping their hands, praised aloud the Holy One of Israel. In the evening we held a prayer meeting — received a poor backslider on trial, who appeared truly penitent.
Monday 3rd. — Received a letter from Mr. J. Carey, School Teacher amongst the Munceys on the River Thames. My heart rejoiced to hear that some families were brought over to the faith of the Gospel, and that the prospects were encouraging.
