Day in the Life
Journal Entry
June 11, 1837 ~ Sunday
June 11th I was called upon to address the conference in
the forepart of the Day it was with peculiar feelings that
I arose to address a large congregation of Saints raised
up in another nation under an other Government seperate
from mine own nation for this was the first time that I arose
to address a congregation of Saints under the British govern-
ment I addressed the people from 2nd Cor. IV. ch. 3, 4 verses
the spirit of the Lord was with us & we were blessed
after I closed, the Saints spake with tongues and
prophesyed. five presented themselves for baptism which
was administered unto them by Elder Page after an
intermishion. Elder Page addressed us upon the priesthood
& bore strong testimony to the people. Our conference
closed by returning thanks to God & we took the parting
hand with many Brethren & Sisters I returned with several
Elders to Elder Stodards to spend the night, & there was a
woman present who was possessed with the devil she
was oft times dumb & greatly afflicted by the evil spirits
that dwelt in her. She believed in Jesus Christ of Nazareth
and us as his servent & called upon us to cast the
devil out of her according to her request four of us
lade hands upon her & commanded the devil in the
name of JESUS CHRIST to depart out of her & it
was immediately done & the woman arose with great
joy & gave thanks & prase unto God for according to
her faith she was made whole from that hour. A
child also that was sick was made whole by the laying
on of hands according to the word of God See Mark 16 ch 17th 6 mile
