Elder Richards Preached from these words "if the Lord be God serve him" the power of the Priest Hood rested upon & the principles of Eternal truth were presented so plain that no opposing power could withstand them when he closed I arose & bore testimony to the truth of what they had herd. The Church minister in the Parish Sent a spy to attend meeting to carry him word what we preached. as soon as meeting closed, I put my hand upon his shoulder & asked him what he thought of our doctrin he replied "I think it is of God" he appeared asstonished when he left the house.
