Met at my house, preached from Amos 8:11, had a few strangers to hear. Showed them that the words of the text was fulfilled in these days, for there was a great famine among the nations already for the word of God. Confirmed those baptised last night. In the afternoon preached on the gifts of the church from 1 Corinthians 12. Had a good flow of the spirit, but my voice was dry and worked from the effects of speaking in the open air this morning under the trees before the door. I tried to enforce upon the officers the necessity of living up to their duty and not to be ashamed of their callings. Between the hours of meeting, wrote a letter to Mother Dilworth and sister Maria, while Mrs. did the same.
