to two who were sick and then walked to
where we preached and had an interesting time. Elder
spoke from the text "If the Lord be God
serve Him." The power of the Priesthood rested upon him
and the principles of eternal truth were presented so plain that no
opposing power could stand them. After he closed I arose and
bore my testimony to what the congregation had heard
The church minister of the parish had
sent a spy to our meeting to carry him word concerning
what was preached. As soon as the meeting closed
I put my hand upon his shoulder and asked him
what he thought of our doctrine and he replied "I
think it is of God." He appeared astonished when
he left the house. Almost every person with whom
I conversed said that they wished to be baptized
as soon as an opportunity offered. Several were
baptized by Elder after their return home
and one after the meeting by Priest .
We had baptized on this day
six persons and confirmed them ordained two Priests
blessed thirteen children and healed two who were sick
The night was spent at brother Williams.
On the morning of the following
day I arose early and baptized and confirmed one
and a number of others soon came to us and requested
to be baptized
We immediately walked to the but being hindered for a short time in looking
for a place suitable for the purpose a man by the
name of Pitt up to us filled with the devil and at
the head of a mob and commanded us not to
baptize in that river and threatened us much if we
did so. Elder Richards preached to him and warned
him to repent but the Devil raged so much in him
and his company that we deemed it wise to pospone
the administeration of the ordinance
We retired and went our way but
this wicked wman and the mob followed us shouting
