TRANSACTIONS, &c. 
" [1820- 
10th. After worship in the afternoon I at- 
tended the meeting of young people, in order 
to hear them repeat so much as tliey could 
recollect of the discourses upon which they had 
attended during the day. They gave a fair 
sample of their attention by the many remarks 
which they made. 
The following were some of the questions 
which I put to two young Matchappees who were 
Present at the examination, and the answers 
which they gave : — " What is the most wonderful 
thing you ever saw or heard of?" After a pause 
— " The word of God." " How long has God 
lived ?" " He always lived." What is the 
worst thing in your opinion that we can do?" 
They mentioned the sin condemned in the seventh 
commandment. 
" Do you believe that the bodies of men shall 
rise from the grave?" " Yes." They then said, 
apparently with great ingenuousness, that they 
wished God would give them a heart to under- 
stand his word, for they found it very difficult. 
They seemed, as it is said in the Acts of the 
Apostles, to be feeling after God. 
There was neither singing nor dancing during 
the Sabbath. Therm, this day 72.
