hendered a short time in looking for a suitable place for Baptizing
a man by the name of Pitt came to us filled with the Devil
& wrath at the head of a mob & commanded us not to Be Baptized
in that river & threatened us much if we did so. Elder Richard
Preached to Mr Pitt & warned him to repent & be Baptized
or he could not be saved. But the Devel raged to such
a degree in this man & his company we thought it wisdom
to omit it on this occasion. We did so & retired & went
our way, with this wicked man & the rest of the mob follow-
ing us shouting, hooting, & yelling as though a part of hell
at least had broke loose. the Saints were strengthened seeing
that they were not of the world but the world hated them
& we also went our way rejoicing that we were counting
worthy to partake of thes things. We clensed our feet
by the way side as a testimony against Mr Pitt for rejecting
our testimony, & forbiding, & hindering, others from Entering
into the kingdom of God. may the will of God be done conserning
that man, I pray that we may ever be reconciled to his
will in all things. We walked to Froom hill & found Br
& sister Benbows both in Better spirits than I have ever
seen them before. I Baptized one, & administered unto
one that was sick spent the night at Brother Benbows 8 [miles]
Total 2 Baptized one confirmed one healed
