and twelve of the members of that Church.

This threw into my hands under my
superintendence forty-two places of worship already established
and licensed according to law including one regular chapel.

When I left this vast field of labour to
attend Conference at Preston there was ^were^ nearly 200 more persons
ready to enter into the Church; and among those already numbered
with us were the preachers of the United Brethren before mentioned
and one clerk of the Church of England and a number of wealthy
farmers

This opened the largest field of labour
and was the greatest increase of the Church in the British
Mission and when I left this vast field of labour to go to
Preston to attend Conference there were nearly two hundred
more souls ready to be baptized as soon as an opportunity
offered of whom after my return I found that Elder Kington
had baptized ten and Priest John Cheese twenty making
the number of souls belonging to the Church in Herefordshire
one hundred and eighty eight. I will now again take up
the regular thread of my history from my daily journal
for 1840.

I had spent the 14th 15 and 16th of April
sitting in Council with my brethren the Twelve and the Saints
who ghad come up to this general conference of the British
Mission; and on the evening of the 20^15^th I preached in the
Temperence Hall to a crowded congregation

On the 17th being Good Friday the Twelve
met at Penworthham two miles from Preston to visit the
Saints and spend the day together before they seperated for
their several fields of labour. Sister Moon opened a bottle
of wine for us to bless and partake of. This bottle of wine
she had kept for forty years. After spending the day
in conversing about the things of the Kingdom of God we
returned to Preston.

The time had come for the Twelve to seperate
and go into different parts of the Lord's vinyard. It was
thought widsom for Elder Heber C. Kimble to visist the Churches
which he had built up while in England on his former

and twelve of the members of that Church.
