LETTER MCCXXIV.
To Mr. S——.
Bristol, May 25, 1759.
My very dear Sir,
THIS day se’nnight, through divine goodness, I came hither. The next day the Spring campaign was opened: on the Lord’s-day we took the field. Thousands and thousands attended: full as many as in London. The power of the Lord was present at the three meetings, as well as at the holy communion. Some cups were made to run over. Ever since I have been enabled to preach twice, and sometimes thrice a day. Never did I see the Bristol people more attentive or impressed. My body feels the heat: but no matter. If souls are benefited, all is well. Would to God I could begin to do something for Jesus! You are employed one way, I another. Ere long we shall sit down together in the kingdom of our Father. Next Monday perhaps I may move towards Gloucester. I know you will follow me with your prayers. Mine always attend you and yours. It is the only return that can be made for all your kindnesses conferred on, my very dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common Lord,
G. W.
