| CHAPTER IV. |

ARRIVED at the Credit before night, and found all well, excepting my brother George, who is still confined to his bed with chronic rheumatism. The Rev. James Richardson, appointed missionary to this place, had moved his family here during the last week. Found the school doing well under the care of my brother John and Miss Sellicks. Attended a singing school in the evening; they sang their various parts delightfully. May God tune the hearts of these children of the forest to sing the high praises of Jehovah! — Wednesday 6th.
Saturday 9th. — Elder Case passed through the village on his way to the Toronto Quarterly Meeting; spent a few minutes with us.
Sunday 10th. — Prayer meeting early in the morning; Sabbath School at 9 o'clock. At 11 Mr. Richardson preached from Heb. xi. 27, 23, 29, the substance of which I gave in Indian. After dismissing the congregation, the Class Leaders met, to whom Mr. R. spoke individually on the state of their minds, and the condition of their classes. A good account was given. In the evening I preached to my brethern from Luke xix. 1, 10; great attention and apparently much feeling; spoke till I was quite exhausted; felt much of the goodness of God in giving his well-beloved son for our redemption.
Monday 11th. — The great Chief Yellowhead arrived from Lake Simcoe, bringing pleasing accounts of the reformation of his people, and the prosperity of the school taught by Mr. W. Law.
