"In the evening we walked into town, and met with 'Daniel's Band,'
which is composed of seventeen Christian young men, who are uniting
in prayer and work for the souls of their fellow-townsmen; and
through their instrumentality many conversions have taken place, and
the churches have been stirred up to greater activity. Mr. Merry gave
a clear Gospel address, and another meeting being asked for, a
Bible-reading was arranged for the following evening. Thus we had the
privilege of witnessing for our blessed Master to about 200, and
cheering the hearts of 'Daniel's Band.'
"Thursday, May 11.--Occupied the day writing English letters and
receiving friends. Also went to see an aged saint, who had from our
first visit to these shores been a helper by her prayers.
"Friday, May 12.--Left Belleville for Galt soon after 6 A.M., taking
with us thirty-eight children, and travelling by rail along the
shores of Lake Ontario. The morning hours passed quickly _en
route_, and as we neared Toronto, towns and villages became more
frequent and more attractive. At Berlin an unexpected kindness was
shown us. Orders had been given to send us on by special train, so
that no delay was experienced in travelling the remaining fourteen
miles of our journey.
