A good feeling attended our confe- rence—all was peace and harmony, each one appeared to be edified and strengthened, and to feel determined to use every exertion possible for the rolling forth of the cause of Truth on these Islands, and for the downfall of Priestcraft, error & wickedness. A perfect unity of sentiment was manifest throughout all our actions, each one felt well and appeared to enjoy a good degree of the Holy Spirit, it was a time long to be remembered by those who were there. No one can tell realise the feelings that animate our breasts when we meet together after being seperated for six or eight months upon these Islands except those who have ^been^ passed through been placed in similar sircu- mstances, a more united band is not often met with, all manifested a willingness to abide counsel, go where they were sent and do what the were told to the best of there ability, without grumbling or finding fault.
~ Edward Partridge, Jr
