Documentary History of the State of New York, Vol. III

Sunday bth. -- Preached in a mill -- a dreadful place to preach in, 96 persons present -- a small N^ evidently impressed with a sense of their sins. After the congregation were dismissed, a baptist very unexpectedly arose, and proposed a contribution at the lectui-e to-morrow, observing that they could not expect the continuance of such priviledges unless they showed a disposition to assist a little, that their poverty was such that they could do but little. Received by contribution by the people in N^ 7, or Adams on Sandy Creek, $2,03 cents after lecture on Monday 6th.

JV" 3, 7th. -- Rode from Sandy Creek 13 miles -- appointed a lecture to-morrow at 2 o'clock.

8th. -- Preached to a congregation of about 50 persons, mostly women and cliildren. This town is settled in 3 dilBferent parts, and there are meetings on the Sabbath in 3 places. They are generally baptists and congregationalists -- a considerable number of universalists. Gave 10 catachisms to the children, and one of Janeway's Tokens. Two years since there were but 7 families in the town -- there are now 150.

9th. -- Rode a mile to the north, to visit a poor sick distressed family. Baptized 5 children, their mothe? being a member of the chh. at Paris, N. Y. Afternoon, preached at another part of the town -- 8 or 10 men present, and about 20 women and children. The people in this town appear to be very thoughtless. Gave 10 catacliisms to a M' Tuttle to distribute, and 4 catachisms.
