Returned from and at 10 a m went to meeting, heard preach on 1st. Epistle John 1 Chap 1st. 3 verses comparing the sectarian preachers to crows living on carrion, as they were more fond of the lies about the Saints than the Truth; & alluding to the coming of the Savior he said, “when he shall appear we shall be like him &c, he will appear on a white horse <​as a warrior, & maybe we shall have some of the same Spirit; our God is a Warrior.” John 14 ch 2 & 3 v it is our privilege to have the Father & Son dwelling in our hearts &c​>
