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.
Next day I wrote to Elder Browett of
my Herefordshire field of labor, and
walked to Brother Corner's and visited
several other friends. Two offered them-
selves for baptism. I visited St. Paul's
and then returned home. Elders Kim-
ball and Smith had just returned from a
visit to the Rev. Robert Aitken. He
received them kindly, acknowledged
their doctrine true, but was afraid of
deception. His mind was in a disturbed
state.
In the evening we held a meeting in
the Temperance Hall; but we had al-
most the bare walls to preach to, there
being only about thirty present. I
preached to the few present for about an
hour, and Elder Kimball followed me.
After paying seven shillings and six
pence for the use of the hall we returned
to our lodgings.
