A good work has broken out in this place. We have had William Weaver, a converted clown and comic-singer, and great good has been done. Among those reclaimed are pigeon-fiers, dog-fighters, gambling-house keepers, and some of the worst of characters in the place. The first Sunday persons came without coats on, one borrowed a jacket to go and hear the clown preach and the Lord touched his heart and he professed to find peace; twenty-two professed to find peace the same night, many more during the week. Mr. Weaver has given three discourses in the market-place, one from Job xxxvii. 14, "Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God." Many could not get into the room after the outdoor preaching... The grave-digger and his wife have also found peace. May this good work continue to go on. W. Weaver goes to Wednesfield-heath to stop a fortnight, and then to the Agricultural Hall, Wolverhampton, for one month. May the Lord Almighty go with him and attend his labours!-Yours in Christ,
WILLIAM EDSON.
