20th Sunday
I wrote a letter to Elder
Before meeting we assembled at the grove at
the time appointed & a good congregation came
together I addressed them in the fore part of the day
from the following words "If our gospel be hid it
be hid from them that are lost &c I felt much of
the spirit of testimony & felt that there were
many hearts to receive, at the close of the meet-
ing the people flocked around the stand to obtain
our Fac similee's of the plates and Books &c they
Bought $4.75 worth of them. We dined at
Br during intermission we upon
Br the presiding Elder & several other Elders
In the afternoon the congregation again assembled
& was addressed by Elder he spoke in
much of the power & demonstration of the from Rev 22 ch first clause of the 3rd vers and
there shall be no more curse He commenced with the
fall the curse that came on the earth & continued the
subject untill the end & every curse was taken off traced
the subject through the second advent of
Christ, the Binding of Satan, peace for one thousand
years the numerous increase of the inhabitants of the
earth, & the letting loose of Satan, his going up with
the hosts of the earth that he had deceived & compassing
the camp of the Saints & the Beloved city & fire came
down from Heaven & devoured them. A great white
throne appeared, the Saints & cities were cought up
to God, the Heavens & earth passed away & the Lord
made a new heavens & new earth the Saints cities &
&c came down from God out of
heaven & rested upon the new earth & the last enemy
destroyed was death then Jesus Christ deliverd it up
to his father as pure &c
At the close of the meeting the people administed
to our necessities they gave us $11.75 which we
divided among us Elder administered the
ordinance of Baptism to one person which we
confirmed at the waters edge we then took
the parting hand with the Saints & rode home with
Priest [to] Chester Co Pa & spent
the night we Blessed the family distance of the day 3 m
