SUMMARY OF MY LABORS DURING THE YEAR.

This brings the year 1835 to a close—the first year of my
mission—during which time I had traveled three thousand
two hundred and forty-eight miles, held one hundred and
seventy meetings, baptized forty-three persons—three of whom
were Campbellite preachers—assisted Elder Parrish to baptize
twenty more, confirmed thirty-five, organized three branches,
ordained two Teachers and one Deacon, procured thirty sub-
scribers for the Messenger and Advocate, one hundred and
seventy-three singers to the petition to the governor of Mis-
souri for redress of wrongs done the Saints in Jackson County,
had three mobs rise against me—but was not harmed, wrote
eighteen letters, received ten, and finally, closed the labors of
the year 1835, by eating johnny-cake, butter and honey, at
Brother A. O. Smoot's.

I SPENT the fore part of January, 1836 (the weather being
very cold) at the house of A. O. Smoot, in Kentucky,
studying Kirkham's English Grammar. I continued to travel
and preach in Kentucky and Tennessee and baptized all that
would believe my testimony.

On the 26th of February we held a conference at the house
of Brother Lewis Clapp (father of B. L. Clapp). There were
represented one hundred and three members in that mission.
I ordained A. O. Smoot and Benjamin Boyston Elders, and
Daniel Thomas and Benjamin L. Clapp Priests. I also
ordained one Teacher and two Deacons.
