Show A YOCTirS EXPERIENCE, Continued. Apostle John Taylor met us at the dock as also quite a number of the Latterday Saints, who took us to their homes and bade us Yrelcome. But we will have to go back to the doek where we took off our baggage. While we were on the Dock a long line of us, a man came along enquiring for a young man and his wife that would like to hire out on a farm and as Ihad heard so many of our brethren breth-ren answer ''yes," I came to the conclusion con-clusion that he did not want any one, but he finally came to me-and asked the same question, and I also answered an-swered uyes." He asked me if I had a wife and I said I had and introduced her to him. He then asked if I had any recommend from any : parties I had worked for? I told him I had not. J He then said my wife was a very good recommend, and I believed believ-ed him. He then asked us to go to a certain address, as his sister was staying there, and she wanted to hire a man and woman to go out 30 miles on a farm and as we had no money to enable us to continue any farther westward we were thankful for this opportunity and accordingly we went to the place appointed and we made a bargain to go and work. for $15,00' a month and they furnish us bed and board. Apostle Taylor called a meeting of all the saints who were going to stay around there as also the .saints who were living there and gave us a hearty welcome to the land of our choice and gave us some excellent council and then asked us, each and all, if we would be willing, if we were unaable to get work or were sick, to agree to help each other? we all agreed that we would, and he blessed us in the name of the Lord, and then myself and wife started for our new home, by railroad, to Westchester, West-chester, Chester Co., Pa., 30 miles distant from where we had landed.
