Sunday, 22.--At ten Mr. Fletcher read prayers, and I preached on those words in the
gospel, "I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep"
[John 10:11]. The church would nothing near contain the congregation; but a window near
the pulpit being taken down, those who could not come in stood in the churchyard, and I
believe all could hear. The congregation, they said, used to be much smaller in the afternoon
than in the morning; but I could not discern the least difference, either in number or seri-
ousness.
I found employment enough for the intermediate hours, in praying with various companies who hung about the house, insatiably hungering and thirsting after the good Word.
