loud talk of George Bothby. I spent some of the
morning in conversing and writing at 10 oclok we
assembled in conference. about four hundred people
assembled at an early hour. I addressed them upon
the first principles of the gospel. as soon as I closed

followed by Elder M. Holmes, father & mother
Carter was present Luther & Rhoda Scamman's
Sarah Foss, & most of the neighborhood. good attention
was manifest. I had the spirit of speaking. we
had an intermission of two hours. Met at 2 oclok
& found an audience of about six hundred
persons assembled, many from Saco Elder S. B.
Stodard addressed the meeting one hour & had
the spirit of speaking. I followed him, & felt
free in leaveing my testimony with the people
we had the best of attention. As soon as I dismissed
the congregation Hull Barton arose and gave out
an appointment for next Sunday at the Hayth
meeting house. we returned to father Carters & spent
