over * bem , pint an ^ od to their prayer meeting , nor ti * v « more tb&n twie or two of them dared since that time to come to ourohapel : ; but instead of praying any longer for i » y success , some of them are becomfe vident oppose I rs . had from £ he fost c&refufty avoided every thing which could be construed into hostility against either the Methodists or any other party ; though I fully expected -they would commence hostilities , aad so it has
happened . The Methodist preachers , and the people stirred up by them , have been doing every thing in ifaeir power -to alarm and terrify the people around , by misrepresentation , in order to prevent their hearing me ; that they have succeeded in their unjust and illiberal plan , with some persons , and that probably they will succeed with © thesis , I cannot doubt ; their violent and bitter opposition lias , however , disgusted some whom they have sought 4 o influence ; and , notwithstanding these thiogs , I continue to have good , sometimes crowded congregations .
