After supper, when the men gathered around the campfire, Brother Lunt exhorted the brethren to "obey counsel and suffer wrong rather than do wrong, and, for the sake of a few house logs, not to let the devil get into their midst."' Apparently, it was decided that everyone would cut and haul logs for the corral before they gathered materials for their own use. Finally, after morning prayer, a few men went up the canyon to get the last pickets to finish the corral on Tuesday, November 20. The rest of the men started on the water ditch. Brothers Lunt and Chatterley determined the place where the water should be taken from the creek. The Utah settlers felt that it was a treat when they received the Deseret News which was a newspaper published in Salt Lake City The Bishops helped with the distribution of the paper. The following statement appeared in the News November 15, 185 1 :

Matthew Carmthers was assigned the position of Presiding Elder on November 21, 1851.

After the meeting Brother Lunt rebaptized seven brethren and sisters in Coal Creek--Joseph Chatterley, James Wfiamson, Dan Ross, Dan Ross Jr., Mary Caston, Alex and Marion Keis.
