Mr Corner offered himself for baptism. This was the
first man in the city of London who offered himself
for the ordinance of the Gospel. We appointed the next
evening to administer the ordinance of baptism unto him
After supping with him we returned home by way
of London Bridge which was so crowded as also were the
streets that it was difficult for a person to get along

I was weary when I arrived home
and unwell during the night, but felt thankful unto the
Lord for the privilege of preaching to the inhabitants of
this great city and to have gained one soul as a seal
to our ministry

On the 31st being the next day we
repeated the first fruits of our labours and as it were laid
the first living stone of the Church of Jesus Christ in
England's great metropolis

We walked into the city and called upon
Mr Corner; but on our way we received a letter from
sister Eliza Bromley in which she stated that she had
dreamed that we should soon baptize a man who would
do much good. After reading the letter and arriving
at the house of Mr Corner he went forward with us
to the public Baths and received the initiatory ordinance
of the Gospel. He was

The First Man Baptized in London
and under the hands of Elder Heber C. Kimball

Returning to the house of brother Corner
we all three laid our hands upon his head and confirmed
him a member of the Church. We all returned to our
homes that night, specially thankful unto God for
his goodness in blessing our labours even thus much

September the 1st I took a walk in the
afternoon with Elders Smith and Kimball to see some of
the great works of man. We visited

The Thames Tunnel

one of the greatest wonders of the world.
We entered the Tunnel on the South side
