Sabbath morning it commenced snowing, but not one meeting was suspended. About an inch of snow fell, and the air was piercing cold. Women with little children clustered about the stoves. It was touching to see one hundred and fifty people, assembled for a convocation, meeting under these circumstances. Some came two hundred miles by private conveyance. All seemed hungry for the bread of life and thirsty for the water of salvation. {4T 303.3}

Sabbats morgen begyndte det at regne, men ikke et møde blev aflyst. Der faldt omkring en tomme sne og luften var bidende kold. Kvinder med små børn klyngede sig til kakkelovnene. Det var rørende at se ethundrede og halvtreds (304) folk, samlet til årsmøde, under disse forhold. Nogle kom tohundrede miles derfra, i privatvogn. Alle synes at hungre efter livets brød og tørste efter frelsens vand.
