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.
