May 2 we met a large congregation at the house of worship at Monterey. My husband spoke with clearness and force upon the parable of the lost sheep. The word was greatly blessed to the people. Some who had strayed were out of the church, and there was no spirit of labor to help them. In fact, the stiff, stern, unfeeling position of some in the church was calculated to prevent their return, should they be disposed thus to do. The subject touched the hearts of all, and all manifested a desire to get right. On first day we spoke three times in Allegan to good congregations. {LS 188.3}

Den. 2. maj mødte vi en stor menighed i bedehuset i Monterey. Min mand talte med klarhed og nødte med lignelsen om det fortabte får. Ordene var til stor velsignelse for folk. Nogle som havde forvildet sig, var ude af menigheden, og der var ingen villighed til at hjælpe dem. Faktisk forhindrede nogle menighedsmedlemers stridigheder, hårde og (189) ufølsomme standpunkter forsætligt at de kom tilbage, kunne de godt virke til. Temaet rørte alles hjerter, og alle udviste et ønske om at gøre det rigtige. På den første dag talte vi tre gange i Allegan til gode menighedsforsamlinger.
