Excerpt from Lectures to the Young On the following week I paid them a second visit, and no sooner did I enter the yard, than the first child that saw me, ran to the rest crying out "The Parson is come, the Parson is come," I was much pleased to see the eagerness of the children to hear what I had to say to them: there were more that thirty children waiting in the room till I had done speaking to the sick and aged who were present, after I had addressed the children, I enquired if there were any good done by my speaking to them last week; a woman who performed the office of a nurse, said that she would only answer for those who were in her room and of whom she had the care, she said that the children came to her desiring that she would teach them their prayers, which she said they never did before, and that they were all longing for Monday to come again; after that I addressed the children at the Poor House for several weeks.
