At sunrise met and had a good little meeting in the new house. Br. Cannon addressed them on the general appearance of the church at the present time. I followed with a few general remarks. At 9 a.m. met again. Had a very respectable congregation; Br. Cannon preached from the 29th chapter of Isaiah. He spoke well, caused me to rejoice with joy again to hear his voice lifted up in the defense of truth. The brethren too all were filled with joy, and the lookers on were confounded and wondered. I bore my testimony to the truth of what he had said, as also Uaua.
At 6 p.m. met again. Had not a very full house, but a very attentive group. Br. Cannon preached from Matthew 26: 38-39, and set forth as the days of Noah so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man. He preached first-rate, had a good flow of the Spirit and of the language. I never heard him speak better. The brethren and sisters all rejoiced. Laid hands on a sick cripple and commanded him in the name of Jesus Christ to get up and walk, which he did and came to church. He made a covenant to be baptised if he was healed. Anointed another one that had been sick for months with the asthma, laid hands on him, he was almost dead. I have not heard from him since, but I believe he will get up, which may the Lord grant for Christ’s sake, amen. I had a day of rejoicing all day. The devil is also up and doing with all his might.
