Mr. Tenny discourse - & all readily admitted his twosermons today were the best & ablest he ever delivered in ourchurch - & they were not of the common place I assure youWe are not to have a minister for a few Sabbathsas the money subscribed has been used up & Mr Goldsburgwishes to make his annual visit to his children & willstart for Boston this week - but it is proposed to have thehouse kept open & it seems to be the mind of all that itwill be better to have "Deacon-meetings" than go to the altersThere has been quite a revival among the orthodoxthis winter & many "entertain a hope" the converts aremostly of the young people - by the way I hear the Deacons
