Day in the Life

Journal Entry

December 27, 1840 ~ Sunday

27th Sunday we met with the Saints & com
muned with them & had a good time, & in the
evening we met at An independant chapel
or Ebenezar Chapel Commercial Road. there
was the largest congregation that we have
ever preached to in London consisting of many
Denominations of Priest & People. I preach[ed]
about one hour, A wesleyian Preacher arose
& opposed me, which had a good effect for
the people seeing the spirit he was off turned
against him & the commity refused his
speaking there any more. I did not have the
spirit of preaching much in consequence of
the power of opposition, still the conduct of
the opposing party gave us friends but I
never saw a harder place than London to
build up a church in But I pray the Lord in
the name of Jesus Christ that our labours may
not be in vain in this city. we dined to
Day with Doctor Copeland {Distance of the day} 10 mile
