Salem, 18 Miles from Cohansie

Thursday, November 20. Preached twice this day; in the morning in the courthouse, in the afternoon in the open air, before the prison, to about 2000. Both times God was with us. In the morning especially there was one cried out and shrieked most piteously, and would not be comforted. After service two or three came to me quite weighed down with the burden of sin. They told me, God had struck them by Mr. Tennent's preaching, but now they were struck much deeper. I gave them what advice I thought proper, and about five left Salem. Oh that the Prince of Peace would come and take possession of the inhabitants' hearts!
