On the rode Parson Baity a preacher of the Christian order. He received us kindly and in warm friendship as disciples of Christ. Elder Clapp and myself retired aside the abodes of men and prayed unto the Lord to bless Parson Baity and his household and we covenanted together not to leave his house until he became a Latter-day Saint. We returned to his house, preached the Gospel to him and he received it gladly. On the next day we arose and baptised him and then went on our way rejoicing.
