Sun Sep 25, 1853

At 9 o’clock, I preached on the first principles to about 15 or 20 persons, about all of them Catholics or Calvins; had a good flow of the spirit and preached with ease. After preaching, baptised and confirmed 4, 2 men and 2 women; I believe they were all from the other churches. 3 p.m. preached again, showing them that there was only one way into the kingdom of God and that was by obeying His laws. They all seemed to believe the doctrine, but it is hard for them to see the difference between their churches and the church of God; they think they are safe inside of any church. There was none to fight against the truth and all seemed to believe it, but dare not obey it for fear of displeasing their old priests. The husband of the sister who was so kind to me was one of those baptised. O that the Lord would open their eyes to the see their condition, and courage to come out and embrace the truth and be saved in the kingdom of God, amen.
