Meeting at Landisville or Reading road where we had a good attendance. John Lefever and Noah Landes officiater Deacon David Leamy.

From church we went to John Lefever for dinner where Benj. Warner and Noah Landes and Mrs. Grider were also there and from there we went to Deacon Leamy where we were again met Wismer and Gander, sister Detwiler, pre. John Lefever.

John Hess ask the question why there is such a difference in opinions in the ministers? He takes his ground from 1 Kings says that he was mistaken 4 times yet he ascended to heaven in a firery chariot.

We drove along the trolley line from Lancaster to Litiz where we were all together except for sister Wismer and then went to Lancaster  where we had meeting, full house. From here Bro. Hartzler took us and Wismer to his home where we stayed over night.

Starting today, Warren spent the rest of the month traveling for the church. He kept a separate note book for this.

We left Phoenixville at 11:35 o'clock arrived at Frazer at 12:03 noon. There we laid off until 1:57. Then took accomidation for Lancaster arriving at Bird-in-Hand at nearly half past 3 o'clock where we were greeted by Pre. David Buckwalter, Pre. Sanford Landes, and also bro. Adam Landes who took us to the home of Pre. Sandford Landis where we took supper.

Bro. Sanford Landis took me to Samual Hershey's and found sister Hershey sitting in a position where she had been for 5 years. She seems to be wholly given up in the will of God. Seems to be contented in her position. I read 23 Psalm and given a few encouraging words as well as Bro. Landes. We sang a few songs and offered a few prayers which she desired.
