speech. On the following day, we
started out to try to get some doors
opened for preaching. Brother Kimball
went to one part of the city and Brother Smith and myself to another. We called
upon two Baptist ministers and asked
one for his chapel. In the evening we
attended a Methodist meeting in Long
Lane.
Next day we again went to the Tem-
perance Hall, in St. George's Road near
the Elephant and Castle, and by the re-
request of the committee I addressed the
meeting upon the subject of temperance,
followed by George A Smith. We gave
out an appointment to preach the Gos-
pel at that place .
The day after, we all started out to go
through the city of London to see if we
could find a man with the Spirit of God,
and after wandering through the city,
not knowing whither we went, we came
upon a man and stopped him and spoke
to him. Brother Kimball asked him
if he was a preacher? He said
he was. He seemed to have a good
spirit, and informed us that he had been
to America, and had come to London
for the purpose of going to South Aus-
tralia, but had just buried one child and
another lay at the point of death. Broth-
er Kimball told him his child should
live. He gave us some information
where we could preach. On the same
day we called upon him and found his
child better, but he was not at home.
We then went and heard a Calvinist
preach, and he gave us an invitation to
call and see him.
Next day we again went over the city
to see if we could find any of the chil-
dren of God. We found one man and
his household who received our testi-
mony, and he opened his doors for us to
preach. We appointed a meeting at his
house for Sunday evening. His name
was Corner, and he lived at 52 Iron-
monger Row, St. Luke's Parish, near
the church.
We had spent twelve days in going to
and fro through London, trying to find
a people willing to receive our testi-
mony, but finding the doors shut against
us, we determined in the name of God
to go into the streets and lift up our
voices.
Accordingly, Elders Kimball, Smith,
and myself started out on Sunday morn-
ing, , walked three miles
and stopped in Tabernacle Square, Old
Street, where we found an Aitkenite
preaching to the people, who was fol-
lowed by a Presbyterian. Just as the
latter was about to begin, Elder Kimball
informed him that there was a preacher
from America present who would like to
speak when he got through. The preacher
then informed the people that there was
an American minister present, and pro-
posed that he should speak first. Elder
George A. Smith then got into the chair,
and spoke about twenty minutes, and
then the Presbyterian spoke. George A.
had informed the people that there were
two other American preachers present
who would like to address them, and,
when the Presbyterian closed, Elder
Kimball asked him if there would be any
objection to our preaching there at three
o'clock. He answered, "No, not at all.
What denomination do you belong to?''
"To the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter-day Saints," was the reply.
"Oh, I have heard of them," he said.
"They are a bad people; they have done
much hurt; they divide churches; we
don't want to hear you."
He then mounted the chair again and
said to the people, "I have just heard
that the last man who spoke belongs to
the Latter-day Saints," and he began to
rail against us.
Elder Kimball asked him to let him
step into the chair to give out an ap-
pointment for a 3 o'clock meeting, but
he would not let him. Brother Kimball
then raised his voice and informed the
people that some American preachers
would preach there at 3 o'clock.
At the appointed time we were at the
place. The conduct of the preacher and
the excitement upon the subject brought
a large congregation to hear us. I
opened the meeting by singing and
prayer and spoke about twenty minutes,
from Gal. I. 8-9 v., and was followed by
Elder Kimball for about the same length
of time. The people gave good attention
and seemed to be much interested in
what they heard.
After meeting, Mr. Corner invited us
home; but soon after we arrived, at his
house, Elder Kimball felt impressed to
return to the place of preaching. When
he got there he found a large company
talking about the things which they had
