We repaired to the water whare the Spirit of God & the solemnities of of Eternity rested upon us While administering the ordinance of Baptism. It was A scene that caused rejoicing in both heaven & Earth to view 3 men lead their wives into the same element whare our Saviour had lain to obey the mandates of heaven

Letter to John Whitmer, 24 October 1835
Paris, Henry co. Tenn.
DEAR BROTHER IN THE LORD: Since
the 21st of Sept. I have extended the
limits of my travels to Clark River
Ky. Here I proclaimed the gospel, on
Sabbath and Monday, and was public-
ly opposed by a Campbellite Priest;
although weak, in and of myself, yet I
wielded the sword in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and prevailed.
I delivered three discourses; which
included, the gospel of Jesus Christ,
the authenticity of the Book of Mor-
mon, and the scattering and gathering
of the house of Israel: after which
three came forward for baptism: I con-
firmed them, by the water side, and
left them strong in the faith of the new
and everlasting covenant. There are
some more in this place, who will fol-
low the example of the three which I
have been speaking of. I took my
leave of these my new brethren and
friends, and journeyed to Taropen,
where we had baptized some before.
I held two meetings in this place; af-
ter which eight presented themselves
as candidates for baptism: We imme-
diately repaired to the water, the so-
lemnities of eternity, and the the Spirit
of the Lord rested upon the congrega-
tion. I baptized 14 since the 21st of
Sept.
Yours in the new covenant,
W. WOODRUFF.
To J. WHITMER.
