Are there not scattered up and down in -- --, many whose souls are verging from under the clouds of thick darkness, and from under the bonds of idolatrous superstition, towards that glorious liberty which is brought to light by the gospel?
Something in me secretly craves an opportunity to tell those precious creatures that the time appears near at hand when this glorious gospel light will shine so clearly that they will discover a Saviour in the secret of their own hearts; and it is to him (I could tell them) that they must look for the perfection of their salvation.

Should there be anything of the right savor in my heart concerning this matter, I humbly hope that in due time it will be brought to maturity, and my way made plain and easy--_plain_, so that I cannot possibly mistake the pointing hand of divine wisdom, and _easy_, so that when I hear the command I may be enabled to obey.
A very instructive time at meeting.

The subject abovementioned glanced in my view, and with it the Dover-failing objection, If I am at all "apt to teach," can it or will it be required of me to leave those here and others in this land who have need of instruction?
This objection was immediately answered in a way which I never before experienced.

They have, besides many teachers, the unerring light of Jesus in their own hearts unto which they know they ought alone to look for direction.

And if they neglect or overlook the means in themselves, it is not in my power, a poor instrument, to do them any good.
