He receives nothing from the people. He has formed a chh. of 18 members -- a regular people -- all congregationalists.

31*' --Rode to Sandy Cree/c-- 33-- 25 of wliich a perfect wilderness. Here I found M'' Hackly -- once a preaclier, and indeed he now preaclies every Sabbatli to his own family. He is alone as to sentiments. The people are baptists from Rliode Island, and are a most wretched people -- the filth of the world.

Sejpt \si. -- Went with M"^ Hackley to some families, to see if a lecture would be agreeable. Upon the whole it was thought best tliat a lecture should be preached, whether the people would attend or not, and appointed it to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Spent y® day in visiting some wretched families, wlio appeared to have no sense of religion. The people are in general nothingarians or fatalists, -- or Methodists and baptists, who are the worst of all.

2c?. -- Preached to about 40 people. The most I can say is, that the people behaved with toUerable decency -- 3 or 4 only left the house in sermon time. Gave one bible, 2 Addresses, and half a dozen catechisms to such persons as I thought w^ould receive them.

Afternoon, at N" 7 -- Preached a lecture -- about 40 persons present. This is a new settlement ; extent 6 by 10 miles on the N. branch of Sandy creek, 8 miles from the lake. Began to be settled in y^ year 1800 -- contains now 75 families, and a number of young men who are making openings. No chh. 2 or 3 famihes of baptists, 3 or 4 Deists. Tlie people stand in special need of assistance, and most of them are very thankful for every thing which is done for them in a religious way.
