Source-grounded excerpt

even this humble believer. All that were present were in profound silence, and I trust that God's Spirit was in the midst of us. In such language a9 this I sought to give the glory to God — " Lord, Thou art " here ; my soul doth magnify Thy name. This day hast Thou " given proof to us that the soul of this dying heathen has been " quickened by Thee. By Thy Spirit he has thus been brought '* out of darkness into Thy marvellous light. It hath pleased " Thee this day to reveal ITiy Son to us." In such terms as these I lifted up my voice to heaven, whilst a devout and silent attention was cheerfully given by the little aboriginal.
