Dwight and Hamlin made a visit, about this time, to Nicomedia.

Their intercourse with the native brethren there was generally private because of persecutors, but it was in the highest degree satisfactory.

The first meeting was on the Sabbath, in a retired garden, where they sat four successive hours, in the middle of a circle of hungry souls, expounding to them the Gospel.

After partaking of some refreshment, they sat three hours more in an adjacent house.

Later in the day, they spent three hours in the same manner, in another garden; making in all ten hours of preaching and conversation in the course of one Sabbath; besides an hour more in their own room, with transient visitors from abroad.
