\ Martins « C wall , in the Extracts from Mr Dear Sir _> Having completed ray mission in Cornwall , I communicate , for your infor _* mation , and that of the gentlemen of the Committee , the following account of my exertions and proceedings . I commenced tny journey from Trowbridge the 24 th of June , and returned to that place the 30 th of November , having been absent about 23 _weeks , during which time I preached 103 times , in 30 different places , and distributed Journal of his Missionary Tour Autumn of last Year . in orn
many tracts . This , the first missionary tour in which I have been engaged , has given me cause for joy * , I trust , will be the means o _/ animating me to greater exertion in one of the best of causes . Wherever I went , the people manifested a disposition to hear ; and , with one or two exceptions , I was uniformly received in a friendly manner , " The harvest is indeed great , but the labourers are few . " The following are the places where I preached , and the number of times in each place :

[ At the places marked thus * , there had been no previous Unitarian preaching . _\ Sunday , July 6 . Preached morning and evening at Falmouth , and at Flushing in the afternoon , to attentive congregations . The cause at Falmouth seems to be on the increase , although but slowly . By the gratuitous and valued services of Mr . Philp , worship is conducted twice every Sunday . Labouring hard in the work , without the least remuneration—having done so for years—far from any of his brethren in the ministry , which prevents his making any exchange , —his exertions are beyond all
I UPP or three years , _' any converse , who do not praise . Tuesday , July 8 . Preached at Falmouth , in the evening , to a small company . Wednesday , July 9 . Preached tills place , bigotry seems greatly has made it his constant practice ism for the last two tion against holding what iew there are dominion of the Methodist preachers . A A poor woman lent me a chair to stand upon , but was taken severely to task for doing so . At the conclusion of my discourse , an Antinomian preacher called out , * If Christ is not God , how can he save the world ? " Upon which I endeavoured to reason with him , and offered him rr » y Bible to point out any _passages which favoured his opinion , and I would endeavour to explain them : but he flew into a great _lilor evail . _* ach ; d has even Bridge .
