156 We met a company upon the beach near Br Starrett's to administer in the ordinance of Baptism
after singing a hymn I led a man down into the water and Baptized him & as on the night before
so on this occasion our ears were saluted with the report of fire arms. O when will the earth rest
from wickedness and pollution men learn righteousness & satan know the length of his chain. We
walked to the east schoolhouse to hold a meeting Elder Ball arose & opened the meeting & commenced
preaching a mob of the baser sort soon appeared & began to disturb the meeting by walking across
the house & talking, whistleing, singing, dancing, &c I followed Br Ball and closed amid much con-
fusion we walked to Mr David McMullen's & spent the night distance 3 miles
