Autobiography 1882 Leaves from My Journal
On the I baptized Elder Thomas Kings-
ton. He was the superintendent of both preachers and
members of the United Brethren.
The first thirty days after my arrival in Herefordshire, I had
baptized forty-five preachers and one hundred-sixty-mem-
bers of the United Brethren, who put into my hands one
chapel and forty-five houses, which were licensed according to
law to preach in.
This opened a wide field for labor, and enabled me to bring
into the Church, through the blessing of God, over eighteen
hundred souls during eight months, including all of the six-
hundred United Brethren except one person; also including
some two hundred preachers of various denominations.
This field of labor embraced Herefordshire, Gloucestershire
and Worcestershire, and formed the conferences of Garway,
Godfield Elm and Frome's Hill.
I was visited by President Young and Dr. Richards.
