morning. At half-past 10 I heard the Rev. R. Watson preach in City Road Chapel from 1 Cor. xiii, 1: in the course of his sermon he dwelt a good deal upon the gift of tongues, and adverted to the delusion of the Rev. Edward Irving.

Before proceeding with their breakfast and business they had a short prayer meeting for the blessing of God to rest upon their labours.
