took place that day.  On Monday afternoon we had a service for Christians, and spoke on the hindrances to Christian labour and Christian joy.  Evening, chapel crowded.  Very solemn season.  Nearly all the congregation stayed to the Prayer Meeting that followed, and many appeared deeply affected, but refused to seek the mercy of God.  A strong prejudice prevails here against the custom of inviting anxious inquirers to any particular part of the building.  The friends told me that this plan never had succeeded in Cornwall; but I thought it the best, considering the crowded state of the chapel, and therefore determined to try it.  I gave a short address, and again invited those who wished to decide for Christ to come forward.  After waiting a minute or two, the solemn silence was broken by the cries of a woman who at once left her pew, and fell down at the Mercy-Seat, and became the first-fruits of what I trust will be a glorious harvest of immortal souls.  She was quickly followed by others, when a scene ensued beyond description.  The cries and groans were piercing in the extreme; and when the stricken spirits apprehended Jesus as their Saviour, the shouts of praise and thanksgiving were in proportion to the previous sorrow.

“Friday.—­The first thing this morning my host informed me that he had just heard of a mason who had been at the services every night, and who had resolved to stop work until he found the Lord.  Soon after a young lady came in to tell us of a woman who had found peace during the night.  At the family altar this morning, a woman in the employ of the gentleman with whom we are staying commenced to bemoan her sinful condition and to cry for mercy.  I asked her to remain, and pointed her to Jesus, and she soon found rest through believing.  In the afternoon,
