On the 11th of March he and Elder Lowman drew up articles of
agreement by which they were to be joint editors and publishers of
the Herald and all other papers, books, etc., issued from their
office. Brother Warner was to pay Lowman $250 for a half interest
in the paper and office. Both were to bear half the expense of
publishing the Herald and any other publications. Both were to share
equally in all the income of the office except the job-work, which
Lowman was to do with his own press and stock, and receive the
proceeds. Brother Warner, however, was to realize fifteen per cent
from all the job-work he should procure. All manuscripts written by
or donated to either party after the date of their agreement were to
be jointly published and owned, and all manuscripts written by or
donated to either party before the date of agreement were to yield to
the owner ten per cent more than one half the proceeds.
From this time the diary entries are rather scattered, until finally
they cease altogether. This is owing to the fact, doubtless,
that the events of his life were associated with evangelistic and
editorial effort and went largely into the paper as news items.
=May 4, 1879.= Sabbath. Went to hear Brother Allison, United
Brethren minister. He requested me to talk. I did so, with great
liberty and power of the Spirit. Brother A., who had hitherto
been an opposer of distinct holiness, was overwhelmed by the
power of God and truth, and confessed that it was Bible doctrine.
Another man, whose carnality was greatly stirred, turned pale,
grew nervous, and finally interrupted me with questions and
contradictions. Just then God sent an increased volume of sweet
love to my heart. Glory to God! Burning coals were freely heaped
upon his head, and soft words soon turned wrath away, and after
meeting he humbly apologized.
