I attended a Conference of the Saints in the Leeds Conference which was held at Dewsbury
about 9 miles from Leeds. The Conference

warm. Arrangements being made we went to

some thousand people, with side rooms for
cloak & hat rooms &c. The Elders and Saints had
taken a picnic, for all places of business were
