Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine
Sunday, , I preached in the morning at Bowl Court, 137 Shoreditch, and was followed by Elders Kimball and Smith. We also held a meeting in Tabernacle Square, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at which Elders Kimball and Smith preached and I bore my testimony to their words. One man arose and opposed us, and was angry be- cause of the truth of God. He continued opposing, until the police stopped the conversation. We met again in the evening at Bowl Court, to preach to the people, but when we got there we found a plan con- trived by several of the preachers for one of them to preach, lest some should believe our testimony. We went our way and found four persons who re- ceived our testimony and offered them- selves for baptism.
