“In Passion Week, as I was reading Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper, I met with
an expression to this effect – ‘That the Jews knew what they did, when they transferred
their sin to the head of their offering.’ The thought came into my mind, What, may
I transfer all my guilt to another? Has God provided an Offering for me, that I 
may lay my sins on His head?

Then, God willing, I will not bear them on my own soul one moment longer. Accordingly
I sought to lay my sins upon the sacred head of Jesus; and on the Wednesday began
to have a hope of mercy; on the Thursday that hope increased; on the Friday and 
Saturday it became more strong; and on the Sunday morning, Easter-day, April 4, 
I awoke early with those words upon my heart and lips, ‘Jesus Christ is risen to-
day! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!’

From that hour peace flowed in rich abundance into my soul; and at the Lord’s Table
in our Chapel I had the sweetest access to God through my blessed Saviour.”
