Excerpt from A Journal of the Life and Religious Labours of Richard Jordan: A Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends Being devoted to the service of his heavenly Master, he was made an able minister of the gospel; and though at times, in the beginning1 of his communications, he might seem to the superficial observer, to move on in weakness, yet to the truly gathered spirits he was felt to be exercised in'watchful care not to proceed faster or further, than as the great Shepherd of the sheep was pleased to lead along, in the openings of the divine gift. His reverent humble waiting, and deep exercise of spi rit, in his silent sitting in our meetings, was instructive and at times had a reaching effect upon the minds of those around him and when put forth to speak to the people, it was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; bap tizing the audience, and clearly opening to individuals their states and. Conditions, showing with indubitable cer tainty, that the pathway of peace and salvation was through the effectual operation of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
