Christians must be made to feel their responsibility ; led upward to a higher standard of piety, and outward to active efficient labors for the conversion of souls. To effect this, the Doctor sought to employ the Prayer Meeting, which he had foimd so useful an auxiliary in his former charge. But In this he met with discouragement, even from the best of his people, and open and determined hostility from others. It was altogether a novelty, an out-growth, as they said, of fanaticism, a Methodisti...cal extravagance that could not be tolerated. But the young pastor was not to be turned aside from his holy purpose. He knew the delights of communion with God ; from past experience he had learned that God favored and smiled upon a praying people, and, therefore, he determined to go for- ward. 6 42 In the execution of this resolve, he found a most valuable coadjutor in the pastor of the Second Church, the Rev. Thomas Hunt. He was a man of a truly evangelical spirit, and ready for every good word and work.
