Fleming mentions Mr. Welch—often in the coldest winter nights, found weeping on the ground, in wrestling prayer, for his people. When his wife, pressed him for an explanation of his distress—‘I have—he said—the souls of 3000 to answer for, while I do not know how it is with many of them.’ Fulfilment of Scripture, p. 188. The following record of a late excellent Past.or is well worthy to be preserved—‘So deeply concerned was this good man for the salvation of his people, that he was often heard by his beloved partner, before the morning light had scarcely appeared, recounting the names of those inscribed on his Christian list, and offering such ejaculatory petitions in their behalf, as their respective cases seemed to call for.’ Memoir of Rev. T. Lloyd.
