Sunday the ; after which the Conference closed. WILFORD WOODRUFF, President. DR. WM. COPELAND, Clerk. During this Conference meeting we also broke bread with the Saints and con- firmed four. At half-past 6 in the evening, we met again and had the largest con- gregation which had assembled at our preaching place. One came forward for baptism. This was a day which we had long de- sired to see, for we had labored exceed ingly hard to establish a Church in Lon- don and at times it seemed as though we should have to give it up, but by holding on to the work of our Divine Master and claiming the promises of God, we were now to leave an established London Con- ference with a prosperous Church planted in the metropolis, under the care of our beloved Brother Lorenzo Snow.
