Wednesday, 17.--I met the class of soldiers, eight of whom were Scotch Highlanders.
Most of these were brought up well; but evil communications had corrupted good manners.
They all said that from the time they entered into the army they had grown worse and worse.
But God had now given them another call, and they knew the day of their visitation.
Monday, 22.--The more I converse with this people, the more I am amazed. That God hath wrought a great work among them is manifest; and yet the main of them, believers and unbelievers, are not able to give a rational account of the plainest principles of religion. It is plain, God begins His work at the heart; then "the inspiration of the highest giveth understanding."
