his ministry, on profession of faith, was 921, and, on certificate, 223; in all, 1144. The baptisms numbered 1498, of whom 282 were adults. This marked success in his work was brought about by repeated outpourings of the Holy Spirit upon the congregation. The most remarkable of these seasons were the years 1807-8, 1813, 1817, and 1826. In 1808, the additions to the church, by profession, were 111; in 1813, the year of hostility, 100; in 1817, 167; and, in 1826, 138.
