Passing over several public occasions at which I beheld the glory of God in the salvation of sinners, within the last two months of the year 1836, and the first of 1837, I may observe, that on the 2nd of February, of this year, whilst pleading with the Lord, in my own house, in my morning devotions, he came down upon me in an extraordinary way, a stream of power flowed upon my soul, and the mystery of godliness expanded upon my understanding with uncommon brightness; my heart burned with sympathy for souls, and with intense affection to my ever blessed Redeemer.
