Transcription

Mother had joined a Church a couple of weeks before my arrival I bore my testimony to her she seemed to have forgotten what her feelings were once.

Father Cleveland treated me with more respect than ever before & seemed greatly pleased to see me, asked me to pray & ask the blessing regularly while I was there, saying John you know we never pray but I wish you to pray with us which I did but Replied you pray only when the Spirit moves, they all wished me to stay a no. of days with them
