On Dec. 15th, we left Philadelphia for Baltimore,
where, the next morning (Sunday,, 16th); he preached at
the largest Methodist Episcopal Church, which was
crowded, the aisles, etc., being thronged; and in the
evening held a meeting at the First Presbyterian Church,
when this building also was filled, many had to stand,
and others to go away for want of room. During the
whole of our stay at Baltimore, my husband continued
to labour uninterruptedly, preaching night after night to
immense audiences ; but as a minute account of his work
in the various cities we visited, throughout our long tour,
would take up too much space, a few particulars only of
his ministry at the most important places can be given.
On Dec. 21st, he spoke at a State Convention, in the
presence of about 150 gentlemen connected with jails,
reformatories, etc., who had assembled to consider this

the reformation of prisoners ? " — a question which was
answered by him most decidedly in the aifirmative.

from Baltimore, and by steamer afterwards down the

Severn out into the Bay of Chesapeake, which is the
largest Bay in the United States. On our return to
Baltimore by water, we got into important conversation
with some German infidels, and were glad to have
opportunities of giving little books and tracts to them
as well as to other passengers on board the steamer.
