Sun all had the privilege of returning to their homes who felt so
disposed. The rest were to spend the night in the House of the
Lord in prayer exhortation praise and thanksgiving.

At about candle-light the meeting commenced
with great interest. Joseph requested the congregation to speak their
feelings freely and pray according to the Spirit.

The Saints then began to open their mouths and they
were filled with language unto edification. One had a prayer another
an exhortation another a doctrine some a psalm others a tongue
and some an interpretation. Prophecy was also poured out upon
us and all things were done decently and in order. Thus was
the night spent glorously by the Saints; and the meeting having
continued until break of day we all dispersed to our homes with great
joy and consolation

The next day I spent in writing my Journal
until evening when I went up to the House of the Lord inwith
Elders Milton Holmes and Joseph B. Nobles. We were afterwards
joined by an aged father in Israel by name Freeman Nickerson
who was very faithful and a man of much prayer. Before
he joined us the power of Satan strove much against us; but
our faith and peseverance in the Lord overcame him and we
were as baptized with the Holy Ghost

When we first entered the House of the Lord
we entered one of the Stands within the veils and fell upon our
knees but the Evil One strove against us with so much power
and temptation that at one time I was driven from my
stand. But notwithstanding his apparant victory good grew
out of it for by going into the courtyard I found father Nickerson
whom I solicited to join us that we might gain a victory over
Satan. He joyfully accepted the invitation and we were now
four in number and of one accord. Moreover we had great
cause to be united in heart for we had travelled together about
one thousand miles in the Spring of 1834 for the redemption of
Zion. At that time we offered to lay down our lifes and
our offerings were accepted as was Abraham's [Genesis 22] and now we could
unitedly prevail and obtain a blessing through Jesus Christ.
We fell upon our knees and cried mightily unto the Lord and
the Evil one departed and the Spirit of God within us was like
fire shut up in our bones and many great things was shown unto
us by the Holy Ghost and minifested in prophecy and revelation
