Here I felt at first greatly embarrassed when called on to speak or pray.

I thought that those who came to these meetings must be among the most pious and intelligent people in Boston.
The kind manner in which they treated me, confirmed me in my impressions of them.

But the best meetings, I think I ever enjoyed on earth, for such a length of time, (nearly two months,) was at what was called the North street prayer meeting, or Father Mason's.

This was in a large upper room.

It really appeared to me, that the most of those who met at this place each day at twelve o'clock to spend an hour in prayer, to tell what God had done for their souls, had been made "ready," by the Spirit of God before they reached that sacred spot .-- I know, I shall fail to present a true picture of this heavenly place; for such it was to me, and many others.
