After breakfast I went to the taylors with my trousers to have them repaired. Also done some studying. Had dinner at 12:30, then went out tracting. I had good success, a number of good conversations. One Lady told me Jesus Christ was a Roman Catholic. I asked her to prove it. She said it was in one of her bibles. I asked her how many different bibles she had. Said three. I asked her which one was right as there could only be one right. If there was confliction it proved that two of them were wrong and that her information of Christ being a Roman Catholic was obtained from one of the incorrect ones. I asked her to show me her bibles and read to me where it said Christ was a Catholic but she said she didn't have time today and I don't think she will ever get time. After tea we called at a place where I left a Durrant for a lady to read. We then called on Mrs. Parker of Mill St. and spent an hour and a half conversing on the Gospel.

She didn't give me much of a chance to reply, although I told her the spirit she manifested was far from being a Christian, and in regard to the Principles which you say are rubbish, I can say they are of Christ and you had better be careful how you speak of those sacred Principles. She closed the door & left. After dinner we went tracting again. Completed Arthur St. and Peel St. after which we came to lodge for tea. In the evening we went to the Monument and held a St. Meeting.

No doubt they were curious as we were. The bells everlastingly chimed the eventful occasion. We left the church to go tracting but soon abandoned that plan as every body was to the wedding and we did not want to push tracts under the doors.
