On Sunday, June 23, I spoke in the Methodist church of Salem, on the subject of temperance. On the next Tuesday evening, I again spoke in this church. Many invitations were tendered me to speak on temperance in various cities and towns of Oregon, but the state of my health forbade my complying with these requests. {LS 231.3}

Søndag den 23. juni talte jeg i metodistkirken i Salem om afholdenhed. Men den følgende tirsdag aften talte jeg i den samme kirke. Jeg fik mange indbydelser til at tale om afholdenhed i flere større og mindre byer i Oregon, men min helbredstilstand tillod ikke, at jeg opfyldte disse ønsker.
