Sunday, 5.--Believing one hindrance of the work of God in York was the neglect of field-
preaching, I preached this morning at eight, in an open place near the city walls. Abundance
of people ran together, most of whom were deeply attentive. One or two only were angry
and threw a few stones; but it was labor lost; for none regarded them.
Sunday, 12.--I had appointed to be at Haworth; but the church would not nearly contain the people who came from all sides. However, Mr. Grimshaw had provided for this by fixing a scaffold on the outside of one of the windows, through which I went after prayers, and the people likewise all went out into the churchyard. The afternoon congregation was larger still. What has God wrought in the midst of those rough mountains!
