Friday 2d April, I preached at Jordon Richardson's, to a few people. I found it a considerable cross to preach, as brother T. S. Chew was present; but I considered that Christ died on the cross, and that I must die under the cross, if ever I get to heaven. I felt much concerned for the salvation of the people, and was happy among them. The next day I preached at Wm. Richardson's, where the Lord was pleased to communicate great grace to our souls; many of the society were in tears when I met the class. Surely the Lord was in that place, and I was truly happy; and yet my cry was still, "'Tis worse than death my God to love, And not my God alone."
