The Garway Conference, held March 8th, 1841—I met the Garway conference at the Kitchen. Elder Levi Richards was chosen president and Elder James Mor- gan, clerk. There were present one of the Quorum of the Twelve, one High Priest, seven Elders, eleven Priests, two Teachers and one Deacon. The meeting opened with prayer by Elder Woodruff, after which the churches were represented as follows: Members, 134; Elders, 4; Priests, 5; Teachers, 3; Deacons, 1. After the representation it was moved that John Needham be ordained elder, William Morris priest and Thomas Rough teacher. These were ordained under the hands of Elders Woodruff and Richards. The meeting adjourned till 3 o'clock and one person was baptized. In the afternoon Elder Levi Richards spoke and I followed him. After meet- ing the Saints contributed one pound to help me, and sold them three books of Mormon and fifty addresses to the citi- zens of London. I then walked five miles with Brother Richards to Brother Holley's and spent the night. This was the first time I had seen Brother Levi for about two years. Next day in company of Elders Levi Richards and Thomas Pitt I walked to the city of Hereford, where Elder Ray and others had been preaching. On Sunday a preacher arose before two or three thousand people in the market house and informed the multitude that he had a fresh letter direct from America, showing the origin of the Book of Mor- mon. So he read the old Spaulding story. When he got through Elder Levi Richards arose and informed the people that instead of its being a new story it had been published for seven years throughout the United States and in England. This caused a great uproar, for while some were for driving the man out of the place for lying, others were crowding around Elders Richards and Ray to hear them preach. The crowd, however, was so excited that they left the ground with hundreds following them. There never was a time when the people were so much stirred up and eager to hear the Latter- day Saints as at the present, and it was expected that we should not get through the city without having crowds around us. We did, however, and had a view of Hereford Cathedral as we passed along and reached Sister Bufton's. There was at this time a small branch of the Church at Hereford, numbering seven members. We parted from Brother Pitt at Hereford, and continued to Lug- wardine, where I met with the Church for the last time and preached from the 24th of Isaiah. On the morrow I walked to Shucknell Hill and had an interesting meeting with the Saints and preached upon the gather- ing to Zion and Jerusalem. It was my last meeting with them and I bid them farewell. Next day I walked to Standley
