their respective homes. The sight was very
affecting. Here we had been together for sever-
al days, and had taken sweet counsel with each

He had, while at Limerick, lived rather a sinful
life, and also after he removed to Effingham, up
to this time. Seeing some signs of penitence in
him, I followed him to his house, when he inform-

shedding many tears. I tried to encourage him
to go to Jesus, and united with his family in
prayer. 1 saw him the next morning, and he
appeared to be still bent down under a load of
guilt. The Lord help him to seek till he finds.
