20th Sunday we accompanied Mr Albon
the preacher of the Independant church to his
chapel in the morning. I had visited him several
times & giave him an account of the rise &
progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints he received my testimony & offer
ed me his chapel to preache in which will
seat about 2000. we were introduced to
the commity of the chapel in the morning one
was A preacher who had travled much in
Russia & other parts of the world At the
close of the meeting Mr Albon gave out
an appointment for us to preach in the
chapel next Sabbath evening. We met
with the Saints in the afternoon as usual
& broke bread unto them, & confirmed four
we had a full house we allso preached in
the evening, & good feeling prevaled, after
rietiring to our room, Mr Albon called me & said
that he gave out our appointment for
us to preach in his chapel, & had informed
his congregation that he was A Latter Day
Saint, & should be Baptized & Join the Church
& that they need not consider him any longedr
a member of their body unles they would
Join the Saints He said it made a division
among the commity some were for going with
him & some opposing I thank God that there
bgegins to be a little stir in this city, we have
had some good dreams of late about ketch-
ing fish, & I hope we may soon realize it by
Baptizing many souls for we have laboured
hard in this city for many weeks & with great
expens & baptized as yet ownly 19 souls but
we will not despise the Day of small things but
hope for more. I also had an interview with
a jgentleman that had been a member of the Irv-
inite Society but had left them he attended
our meeting. We retired to rest & I dreamed
of ketching fish, fowl, geese & Turkies, in
nets, & seeing a house on fire. Elder Kimball also
Dreamed of casting a net & ketching a good hall
of fish, two large ones, & gathering fruit
So I think sumthing will be done soon
