Day in the Life

Sep 24, 1840

Journal Entry

September 24, 1840 ~ Thursday

24th I spent the Day in writing. The church
ministers are vary much stired up in this region
because the Saints are gathering together evry
exhertion is made against the the work of God
the clergy are foaring they will loose their
flock & the Lord is delivering the flock out of
their hands the ministers of the Church of England
see this, & they are alarmed in earnest they are hold
ing conventions & meetings to contrive schemes &
plans to overthrow & stop the work of God. In some
instances they do not have more than 10 or 15 persons
in their church on the Sabbath & they really begin to
think sumthing strange is happening. Truth will prevail
