2nd I met with the 14 ward at the school house as a fast day
for prayer & the worship of God we had a house full & the spirit
of God was poured out upon us I confirmed 10 that had been
confirmed Baptized this morning I ordained 1 Priest & laid hands
upon 3 that were sick. Dr Richards is still vary sick & weak
I addressed the Saints many spoke prayed & sung one spoke
in tongues & Brother Coveington interpeted it the following is the
substance of it. That you should not give heed to the mediums
& spirit rappers that are in the land. for twhen the Lord sent the
Holy Ghost anciently to the servants of God it came in the form
of a dove And when the Holy Ghost came to Abraham while He was
bound & about to be slain by the Priest of Elkena He came in
the form of a Dove & so when He came to Jesus He came in the
form of a Dove. [Matthew 3:16] We continued our meeting through evening
& had a good time
