Friday and Saturday.--I rested at Aberdeen. Sunday, May 3.--l went in the morning to
the English church. Here, likewise, I could not but admire the exemplary decency of the
congregation. This was the more remarkable, because so miserable a reader I never heard
before. Listening with all attention, I understood but one single word, Balak, in the first
lesson; and one more, begat, was all I could possibly distinguish in the second. Is there no
man of spirit belonging to this congregation? Why is such a burlesque upon public worship
suffered? Would it not be far better to pay this gentleman for doing nothing, than for doing
mischief and for bringing a scandal upon religion?
