Sunday, 29.—Advice came that they were in full march southward, so that it was supposed they would reach Newcastle by Monday evening. At eight I called on a multitude of
sinners in Gateshead to seek the Lord while He might be found. Mr. Ellison preached another
earnest sermon, and all the people seemed to bend before the Lord. In the afternoon I expounded part of the lesson for the day—Jacob wrestling with the angel. The congregation
was so moved that I began again and again and knew not how to conclude. And we cried
mightily to God to send his Majesty King George help from His holy place and to spare a
sinful land yet a little longer, if haply they might know the day of their visitation.
