the city of London to try to find a people that
were willing to receive our testimony & obey the
fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but finding
evry door shut against us we were now determin
ed in the name of God to go into the streets & lift
up our voice & warn the people accordingly Elders
Kimball, Smith, & myself, walked 3 miles into the
city, & stoped in Tabernacle square Old Street road
here we found a man preaching to the people of the
Aitken Society & when he closed another man got
into the chair to preach belonging to the Calvinest or
Presbyterians & Just as he was about to speak 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 peo-
ple that there was an American preacher present &
he proposed for him to speak first Elder G. A. Smith
then got into the chair & spoke about 20 minutes &
was followed dy the other preacher Elder Smith
informed the people that there was two other Amer-
ican preachers present that would address them
if they had an oppertunity & when the Calvenist
preacher closed, Elder Kimball asked him if there
would be any objeecction to our preaching there at 3
oclock he says No not all. What denomination do
you belong to? to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints. O I have herd of them, they are a bad
people, they have done much hurt, they divide churches
we dont want to hear you. He then got up into his
chair & said to the people I have just herd that the
last man that spoke belongs to the latter Day Saint
& he spoke all manner of evil of us, & scandalized
us before the people without hearing us ^or^ knowing
any thing about our principles. Elder Kimball them
asked him to let him step into the chair & give out
the appointment for a 3 oclock meeting but he would
not let him & Just as he went to step inoto the chair
another preacher of the same order ketched up the
chair & run away with it Elder Kimball then rais
ed his voice & informed the people, that some Amer-
ican preachers would preach there at 3 oclock at
which time we were all three of us on the spot, &
the conduct of the preacher & the excitement upon
the subject brought a large congregation together I
opened the meeting by singing, & prayer & spoke abou[t]
30 minutes from Gal 1, 8, 9, upon the first principles of
the gospel. I was then followed by Elder Kimball who
