Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
The forepart of the ^next^ was spent in our wandering over the city of Bangor. We were the first Elders of the Church who visited this city or lifted a warning voice in this place to the people. We were as great strangers in the cities of the Gentiles which we visited as were Abraham Isaac and Jacob in their day. We attended court in the City Hall in the afternoon and in the evening met a congregation of citizens at the hour appointed and preached to them upon the first principles of the Gospel to which the people listened with attention.
