Today being Saturday, we were unable to do any tracting. So our time was spent principally in studying. We had dinner at the lodge. In the evening, we prepared for a street meeting. The first one was held at the Cross. Elders Riches and Everett spoke. At the beginning of our meeting an old drunk came up and bothered us by standing on the steps talking to the people. We stood there and let him have his sayso. Throngs of people flocked to see what was the matter, but he was the means of drawing a large crowd. Finally a Church of England Minister we were acquainted with came up to me and asked me if the drunk was bothering us. I told him slightly, so he ran over and pulled him down and took him away. Afterwards an old woman raised a disturbance and a policeman captured her and took her away. I shall never forget the Christian like spirit that was displayed by the Minister. He has been reading the Book of Mormon which we lent him some time ago. After this meeting, we went to King St. and held another meeting. I was the speaker, subject Grace. From there we went to Sister Atkinson's for our laundry, returning later.
Sunday, July 16, 1905. 2 Aglionby St. Carlisle.
We did not take breakfast this morning as we were fasting for Bro. Armstrong's son, Andrew, who is ill. At two thirty, we attended Sunday School. Had a nice school, after which we went to Bro. Armstrong's to administer to Andrew. We also took tea there. In the evening, we went to services. Elder Riches was first speaker, subject Baptism Essential to Salvation. I then spoke on Authority. Elder Everett gave the concluding remarks. After meeting, we went on the Cross and held a short street meeting. The rain prevented us from holding longer. We had a fine crowd. Elder Everett was the speaker. After the meeting we went to Sister Atkinson's. Spent the evening, then returned home.
