Attended meeting this morning; Br. Cannon spoke on the subject of contending for the faith that was our deliverance to the Saints. Br. Uaua spoke a little, bore his testimony. I followed on the same subject; then called on those who had congregated to hand in their donations toward hiring a house. They gave in three dollars and three vials, enough to hire the same house we had last Sunday again. Employed in translating. At 12 o’clock midnight, we were called by Br. Uaua to go and administer to his wife who was labouring in childbirth and had been labouring for about 14 hours. They had a Gentile doctor there who had been giving medicine, but when we got there he said the child was dead in consequence of their not doing as he wanted them. We told them to not be discouraged, but to have faith and lift up their hearts in prayer. We all knelt down and prayed, Br. Cannon being mouth. We then directed the mother of the girl who was sick how to do and what to do, and got their faith started, and in about an hour she was delivered of a fine little girl. They all ascribed it to the Lord, the right source, except doctor. I do not know what he thought of the Mormon elders being midwives, nor do I care. She is doing well.
