I was called upon to open the meeting by prayer. The
conference then proceeded to business.

There were eight Branches of the Church represented
consisting of 300 members in all. Thirty two brethren were
presented for ordination and Elder William Draper and myself
were called upon to ordain them. We then ordained
7 Elders 9 Priests 11 Teachers and 5 Deacons. This with
some other matters filled up the business of the day.
Meeting then closed and I accompanied several brethren to
Elder Stodard's where we spent the day ^night^.

The conference was continued on the next
day and I was called upon to address the congregation
in the morning service. It was with peculiar feelings
that I arose to address a large body of Saints in the
capacity of Conference raised up in another nation seperate
from my own and under another Government. This
was the first time that I had ever addressed a congregation
of Saints under the British rule. I preached
from the 2^nd Cor. IV, ch 3^rd & 4th verses.

The Spirit of the Lord was with us and
we were blessed. After I closed the Saints spake in
tongues and prophesied. Five presented themselves for
baptism which was administered unto them by Elder
Page thus was added others to our number.

After an intermission Elder Page addressed
us upon the Priesthood and bore a strong testimony to
the people. Our Conference then closed by our returning
thanks to God.

We took the parting hand of many brethren
and sisters and I returned with several Elders to brother
Stodard's to spend the night.

At his house there was a woman presented
who was often possessed with the devil. She was oft times
dumb and greatly afflicted by evil spirits that dwelt in her.
She beleived in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and in us as his servants
and called upon us to cast the devil out of her.

According to this woman's request four of
us laid our hands upon her and commanded the devil
in the name of Jesus Christ to depart out of her and
it was immediately done. The woman arose with great
