November 14 to November 19, 1887
I stayed around Marple and went to visit Ann Brockleherst at Heyfield. She used to be my old spark but went and left me to get married to Brockleherst. She received me very kindly and showed me what trouble she had had with her husband before he died and with one of her sons. I slept all night with one of her sons. Her daughter, Hannah, was very kind to me. She give me two shillings when I left. I spoke to her and her daughter about the gospel. She said it was like a dream to her. She was once in the church she give me to understand. She regretted very much the course she had pursued. I preached and read the scriptures to my friends at Marple who seemed to be very much interested in what I told them till November 19, when I went to Manchester to report myself rightly for duties but he was away. I wrote at the Conference house a lengthy letter on Baptism to a Wesleyan minister who I had got acquainted with when I was at Whaley Bridge. He had brought many things against baptism and he not time to listen to any thing I had to say. So I spent my time in writing to him while I was waiting for President Phillips. The saints had a meeting at a private house in Manchester where I went this night and they called on me to preach to them which I did on the manifestation of Satan’s power in the latter days.
