The idea had become prevalent that Brother Harmon was one of the Twelve. I called on him to speak first. The assembly listened to him for about two minutes. Then Brother Wallace tried it, when a blacksmith by the name of Anguish interrupted him, and Brother Wallace spitefully told him to "shut your head." That remark brought matters to a climax. He spoke no more than ninety seconds, and then we had a good representation of what imagination pictures as the pandemonium of hell. I knelt with my back to the congregation and said, "Father! I have done all I know. If there is anything else you wish me to do, manifest it to me when I get up and I will do it." As soon as I arose to my feet, a comic song that I used to sing in those days came to my mind, and I felt as though it wanted to get out of me in all my parts. I paused a moment, stepped to the front, threw my arms out towards the congregation, and said, "Boys, it will be a new thing for you to hear a minister sing a comic song in a meeting; but if you will be quiet, I will sing you one." I sang it better than ever before or since, and at the close they gave me a good, hearty cheer. I then appealed to them as Englishmen, telling them how Americans treated Englishmen when they came to our country. I continued speaking for one hour, and from the first five minutes the dropping of a pin on the floor could have been heard. At the close many came and shook hands, and in sixpences, shillings, etc., gave me something over $17.00. When my hands went out towards, and over a part of that congregation I felt power and control go with them as tangibly as I ever felt cold or heat, and I learned this lesson, not to shirk my own responsibilities and run for others to fill my place, let me be ever so weak. CHAPTER III. AN AMUSING EPISODE--OBTAIN THE KEYS OF A CHURCH--NOTIFY THE PEOPLE THAT A MEETING WILL BE HELD IN IT--A GOOD TURN-OUT--MY COMPANION PREACHES WHILE I, DISGUISED AS A POLICE, GUARD THE DOOR--EXCITEMENT AROUSED--CONTROVERSY WITH A MINISTER--AN ANTI-"MORMON" MEETING HELD--I ATTEND--REPLY TO THE MINISTERS' ATTEMPTS TO EXPOSE "MORMONISM"--MY ESCAPE FROM THE BUILDING--SAVED BY AN INFIDEL--PROSPERITY OF THE WORK--REMARKABLE HEALINGS--A PREDICTION UTTERED AND FULFILLED--MY RETURN HOME--CONTRAST BETWEEN THE CONDITION OF THE SAINTS NOW AND THAT OF THIRTY YEARS AGO. I will mention an amusing episode, that occurred during a visit that Brother Wallace made the conference. It started in fun but resulted in great good: I took him to a country branch where the work was pretty dead and we stopped with a man who had a standing in the Church, but as a reward for his _little_ faith had been made trustee of one of the prominent sectarian churches and held the keys of their place of worship.
