a good and wealthy family. and They had many trials to
pass through to do the will of God and maintain their
faith and integrity and to gather with the Saints for their
brothers were exceedingly set against them. But brother
Edward had maintained his integrity like a man of God
and was making every preparation to gather with the Saints
but his sister Ann had fears that her brothers would
hinder her gathering.

Having bid farewell to the Saints of
Standly Hill I walked to Frooms Hill and conversed with
the Elders untl 2 o'clock when I took the parting hands
of Elders Richards Kington Kay and others and with my

I could scarcely walk at all. I then took the rail and
arrived in Birmingham at 10 o'clock at night but was
exceedingly lame and weary. I spent the night with

where the Lord had blessed me beyond all my expectations

I now left three conferences in the region
which I opened one year before on the 5th of the same month
that I left this vineyard planted all over with Churches

For the same reason I have ^shall^ also given ^give^ the minutes
of the General Conferences that the reader may have
