Kimball asked him if there would be any objection to our preaching
there at 3 o'clock. He answered "No;" not at all. What
denomination do you belong to?" "To the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints" was the reply

"Oh I have heard of them" he said. They are
"a bad people; they have done much hurt; they divide churches;
"we don't want to hear you."

He then mounted the chair again and said
to the people,

"I have just heard that the last man who spoke
belongs to the Latter-Day Saints;" and then he began to rail
against us.

Elder Kimball asked him to let him stopedep
into the chair to give out an appointment for a 3 o'clock
meeting, but he would not let him. Brother Kimball then
raised his voice and informed the people that some American
preachers would preach there at 3 o'clock. and at the appointed
time we were at the place.

The conduct of the preacher and
the excitement upon the subject brought together a large
congregation to hear us.

I opened the meeting by singing and
prayer and spoke about 20 minutes, from Gal I. 8, 9 v and
was followed by Elder Kimball for about the same length of
time. The people gave good attention and seemed to be
much interested in what they heard

After meeting Mr Corner invited us home
but soon after we arrived at his house, Elder Kimball
felt impressed to return to the place of preaching

When he got there he found a large company
talking about the things which they had heard, and they wished
him to speak to them again. He did so and addressed
them at considerable length, and afterwards several invited
him home to their houses.

While he was away a man who had been
a preacher came to Mr Corner's and I gave him a brief
account of the great work of God in the last days and
they received the things which I spake unto them.
