an interesting time. Elder Richards preached from these
words "if the Lord be God serve him" [1 Kings 18:21] 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

asstonished when he left the house. almost evry person I
