previous arrangement at
Andrew Cosner's, six miles further on in the direction of his route.
His subject was 1 Cor. 15:1, 2, 3. From here he went to Brother Thomas
Clark's, fifteen miles further on, where he stayed all night.
Beautiful weather continues.

TUESDAY, May 10. From Brother Clark's he went to Oakland, a station on
the B. & O. R.R., thirteen miles from Brother Thomas Clark's. Here he
took the train at 9:30 P.M., and Nell had rest. She had carried him on
her back one hundred and four miles in four and one-half days. Short
stages, but terribly hard roads a large part of the way. He arrived at
Bellaire at half past six the next morning. He started for Dayton,
Ohio, at seven, and got there at five in the evening. He stayed all
night at Brother Henry Flory's.

THURSDAY, May 12. From here he went to a love feast at the Cave Creek
meetinghouse, but is silent as to how he got there. The second chapter
of Hebrews was read. He stayed all night at Jonas Garber's. He says:
"There was frost this morning, but a delightful day."

FRIDAY, May 13. He took the train at Brookville station, seven miles
from Brother Jonas Garber's, and arrived at Hagerstown, near the place
of the Annual Meeting. He stayed all night at Brother Samuel Eiler's.
Another fine day.

SATURDAY, May 14. He reports meeting at the meetinghouse and a great
concourse of people. Also, a little rain to-day.

SUNDAY, May 15. Preaching at six places. A wonderful gathering of
people. Night meeting in Hagerstown. A little rain to-day. I stay all
night in Hagerstown.

MONDAY, May 16. To-day the Annual Meeting organizes for business.
Forms subcommittees; takes in queries; holds its session in
meetinghouse. I stay all night at old Brother Eiler's. A little
sprinkle of rain to-day.

TUESDAY, May 17. Discuss questions all day. Good order prevails. I am
glad to witness the dawning of intelligence in the minds of our
younger brethren in the ministry. We must keep up with the demands of
the age; not in the vain show of worldly fashion and love for things
new; but in our desire and power by the use of all divinely-appointed
means to commend the truth to every man's conscience by making it to
shine in all directions more and more unto the perfect day. I am glad
to see the zeal manifest in our younger brethren, and at the same time
equally glad to find it tempered with moderation.

WEDNESDAY, May 18. Finish business at half past eleven o'clock. After
dinner go to Br
