July 16, 1843 ~ Sunday

16^th Sunday we met at a privat house in
the city with the Saints & I spoke to the peop-
le & was followed By Elder B Young this is
the first time that I ever attempted to preach
in Cincinnati. At the close of the meeting
Elder Young & myself went on to the ferry Boat
& crossed the River & took dinner with Br
Derby we then took each of us a horse that had
been brought to us & rode 8 miles back into
Kentucky over the hills streams rocks & valleys
to Mr Colbertsons who had professed to be a
Saint & an Elder in the Church but had lost his faith
if he ever had any as had also Br Youtsey in
the same neighbourhood they had got their eye
fixed more upon strayburys [strawberries] & raspburrys (as they
were cultivating 10 or 15 acres of them for market)
than they had upon the mark or the prize of the
high calling in Christ Jesus, we found they
had neither of them any faith in the work. we
theire was an appointment given out for us
to preach at 4 oclock but we did not arive untill
it was to late. we had a good supper of red
raspburys. I took a severe cold during the
day & evening & was about sick distance 10 m
