I.IY DEAR BROTHER, 'Agreeably .to your request, I give you tire ontlines of the last -?0 years of my life, I embraced Deism, when between twen- tv and thirty years of age. f This was the c nuary to what might have been ex- petted from my religious educutidn, being l)lest with religious parents, who were careful to inculcate .the principles of moralit' and religion on njiy mind : and particularly, my Mother, who has been5 for near fif ty years an acceptable member of the Methodist Church, and at this time, enjoys good health of body and . much of the power of religion. After I arrived at "the age. of maturity, I left my father's h.nco in mircnif nf nr!i n vjirntJnn -n-T thought; were calculated to make me oer- manently happy. - I also became unfor- . 7 r tunately allied to persons nigmy preju- 1 t11 " ulCfc"u hmusi uie vuusucui ivengiun. Among these, means were used which completely! destroyed the good impres sions made on my mind in the early part ; ofmyJife : and, in defiance' of all my former convictions of the truth of revela tion, I went down to Deism. With this belief I lived till February ast when it pleased G od, by a singular act. of his Prqvidence, to alarra my con science, and bring rae.once moreto seri ous reflection L About this time! one of my servants, ' an old man, say about six ty years of age, died very suddenly, jn a situation which precluded him from . hav ing a human being near, even to close his eyes. Having no family, he had liv ed at some distance from my dwelling by himself and consequently, his death was not discovered until the day after it occurred. This circumstance made it to me dreadful and melancholy, and caused me seriously to reflect on death7. He had been a member of the Methodist Church nearthir-ty years, and to the day of his deatli a pious" and holy man. While viewing his lifeless corpse, somehow,' these words occurred to me" poor fellow, you are happy, no doubt,'" but, how can he be happy," I replied to myself ; Vve; have always differed in opinion, and certainly one of us : must . be wrong.""' I therefore began to reason on the subject, and as I progressed I found myself more and more unhappy. 1 began to conclude, that my philosophT and reason would not support me in the awful hour of death I brought my past life into review', and found it had been truly abandoned and grossly immoral having indulged in my wicked temper so long, that it; became ungovernable.' Although possessed of wealth, more than enough, yet my desire for money became so great, that no day appeared long enough to pursue after It. I rarts oi aDbajrls wejc em ploy ea in ao ing out of the way jobs about my planta tions, and looking after ray stock: and the spare hours from nursing the mam monof iinri jhteouness, werepmploycd in wise I would ciie a 'Leist'. : Accordingly 1 commenced the pation but during the first week, the task so irk some, .tbat'I.waUtlit Xtft nam myeu iu ma cuapiers a da. ter reading seven or. eight days, I bn n,j to feel more interested, and was 'alijc ,i3 rise to twenty, and sometimes to thiriv in a day.V I had not gone through ti!etw.

I resolved, in addi tion to my own pra)rers to obtain those of my godly neighbours ; and therefore sent and invited all in thejieighhourhood to come, see, and pray for a poor desj id ing Infidel. Accordingly, a numl7eV as sembled, and at one o'clock commenced their devotions to God in my behalf aid at. three o'clock, while many of their pious souls were employed in singing and' prayer, it pleased Uod to rele.nse my soul from bondage, and with heavenly extacies in the fulness of Jesus, 1 cried out, (ilwy to God. About two weeks after mv sins were pardoned, I determined to becime a member of the JVlethodist Episcopal Church. A number of my old deistical companions" were collected on the rrca sion. .
