As I was reading to my children in the laundry, my father brought them all in; when I had finished reading in the Testament we were all silent: - and soon John Kirkham knelt down in prayer and we all rose up; it was a very solemn time; my heart was not much moved, but I believe many of my dear children were affected by it' |
