the mob surrounded the pool, armed with stones, I
dismissed the meeting and went away, but the congregation
and mob remained on the ground till midnight, and
as there was no prospect of their dispersing and the candidates
were anxious to be baptized, I went down in to the water
and baptized five in the mist of a shower of stones,
the water was all in a foam for a rod around me,
none that I baptized were hit, and I was only hit
twice, once on my hip and once on my head, the one ^blow^ on
my head raised a large bump, it which went away while
I was confirming: S^s^ubsequently I baptized many of the mob.

Subsequently I left next morning for Preston and attended
the conference with the Twelve, and returned to Hereforshire
accompanied by Elder Brigham Young, on the 22nd April,
and was soon joined by Elder Willard Richards. Elder
Young remained with me twenty seven days, preaching,
baptizing, confirming and counciling; numbers were added
daily to the church: he then returned to Manchester.

I spent about seven months in Herefordshire,
Glo^uce^stershire and Worcestershire, we baptized over
eighteen hundred including all of the United Brethren
save one: we baptized over two hundred preachers
of various denominations in that part of the vinyard
