Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine
On the I again
crossed to the North Island, and after
remaining there seven days visiting, we
returned to Camden. Here I met Brother
James Townsend, who had just arrived
from Scarboro.
I ordained Brother Townsend to the
office of an elder, and we concluded to
take a journey to Bangor, and offer the
gospel to the inhabitants of that city.
We undertook the journey on foot in
the dead of winter, when the snow was
very deep, and the first day broke the
road for seven miles to Scarsmont. The
day following, it being Sunday, we held
two meetings, preached the gospel to the
people, and were kindly entertained.
On the evening of the next day we
wallowed through snowdrifts for a mile,
to meet an appointment to preach in a
schoolhouse, and I got one of my ears
frozen on the way; but notwithstanding
the severity of the weather, we had a
large and attentive audience. We also
spent the next two days with the people
there and held meetings.
