AT SEA. 



day the 14th we enjoyed the privilege of having 

 two full services. 



The 16th. — The wind continues light and fa- 

 vourable, and I have been much interested in 

 reading Mr. Wilberforce's pamphlet, entitled, 

 " An Appeal in behalf of the Negro Slaves." 

 When will men regard each other as brethren, 

 connected by the common ties of humanity, 

 and as generally responsible to God, the Judge 

 of all. 



Sunday, 21st. — When off Cape Charles at 

 the entrance of Hudson's straits, the Thermo- 

 meter I observed was as low as 24° ; and the 

 land as we passed along was covered with snow. 

 The prospect was most chilling and dreary. 

 Though it blew fresh, there was not however 

 a heavy swell of the sea, which gave us the 

 opportunity of having divine service both 

 morning and afternoon. I felt humbled in 

 going through the Ministerial duties of the day ; 

 and the experience of my heart imposes on me 

 the obligation of labouring more and more after 

 humiliation. What a consolation is it to know 

 that we are saved by hope, even in Him, who 

 sitteth upon the circle of the heavens, directing 

 the course of the elements — who commandeth 

 the waters and they obey Him.
