“Brother Gowell took us to the cars in his carriage. We had just time to get on the train before it started. We rode five hours, and found Brother A. W. Smith at the Manchester depot, waiting to take us to his home in that city. Here we expected to find rest one night; but, lo quite a number were waiting to receive us. They had come nine miles from Amherst to spend the evening with us. We had a very pleasant interview, profitable, we hope, to all. Retired about ten. Early next morning we left the comfortable, hospitable home of Brother Smith, to pursue our journey to Washington. It was a slow, tedious route. We left the cars at Hillsborough, and found a team waiting to take us twelve miles to Washington. Brother Colby had a sleigh and blankets, and we rode quite comfortably until we were within a few miles of our destination. There was not snow enough to make good sleighing; the wind arose, and during the last two miles blew the falling sleet into our faces and eyes, producing pain and chilling us almost to freezing. We found shelter at last at the good home of Brother C. K. Farnsworth. They did all they could for our comfort, and everything was arranged so that we could rest as much as possible. That was but little, I can assure you. {1T 654.3}

"Om sabbaten talte din fader om formiddagen og efter en pause på omkring tyve minutter talte jeg og frembar et irettesættende vidnesbyrd for adskillige, som brugte tobak også for bror Ball, som har styrket vore fjenders hænder ved at latterliggøre synerne og udgive bitre ting imod os i Vendepunkt - Crisis, fra Boston og i Israels håb - Hope of Israel, et blad udgivet i Iowa. Mødet om aftnen blev tilrettelagt af bror Farnsworth's. Menigheden var til stede og din fader bad her bror Ball om at fortælle om sine indvendinger mod synerne og give en lejlighed til at besvare dem. Således blev den aften brugt. Bror Ball viste en vis hårdnakkethed og modstand, på nogle punkter tillod han sig at være tilfreds, men holdt sig fuldstændig fast på sit standpunkt. Bror Andrews og din fader talte tydeligt og forklarede de ting han havde misforstået og fordømte hans urigtige kurs overfor sabbatsholdende adventister. Vi følte alle at vi, på den dag, havde gjort det bedste vi kunne for at (656) svække fjendens kræfter. Vort møde gik til over ti.
