To the latter, I owe a lasting obligation .-- Through him I obtained a hearing of my case in Mr.Anderson's church, Roxbury, where I obtained very liberal aid, while the pastor was absent, as well as in many other cases. I called on Rev.Dr.Stow, who allowed my case to be presented to his congregation, at an evening meeting, where I received some fifty dollars.

Rev.L.A.Grimes, pastor of the 12th Baptist Church, (colored,) from the respectable position which he occupied in the community, did much for me, in furthering my cause, and introducing me to others, especially at the daily prayer meetings. I had the great privilege and pleasure of mingling with the people of God of every name, in these blessed meetings.
The first I went to, was at the old South Chapel.
