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 Australia, but had just burried
one child and another laid at the point of death. Brother 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 Calvinest preach
and he gave us an invitation to call and see him
Next we again went over the city to see
if we could any of the children of God. We found one man
and his household who received our testimony, 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 Ironmonger Row, St. Luke's Parish, near the church.

We had spent twelve days in going to and fro
London trying to find a people willing to receive our testimony,
but finding the doors shut against us, we determined in
the name of God to into the streets and lift up our voices
Accordingly Elders Kimball, Smith, and myself
started out on Sunday morning, ; walked
three miles and stoped in Tabernacle Square, Old Street, where
we found an Aitkenite preaching to the people, who was
followed 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 peopele that
there was an American minister present, and proposed that
he should speeak first. Elder George A Smith then got into
the chair, and spoke about 20 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 had closed, Elder
he was. He seemed to have a good spirit, and informed us
