For once the house of God suffered violence, and the violent took it by force.

After all the services of the day, the people went again to the missionaries in a body, and petitioned to have a meeting in the evening.
At Grace Bay, the people, all dressed in white, assembled in a spacious court in front of the Moravian chapel.

They formed a procession and walked arm in arm into the chapel.

Similar scenes occurred at all the chapels and at the churches also.

We were told by the missionaries that the dress of the negroes on that occasion was uncommonly simple and modest.
