portrait in oil colors which he did and kindly presented it to me. It was exhibited in a picture shop window for some time and was said to be worth ten pounds. Henry was "Pastor" of the Newcastle Upon Tyne, Carlisle and Durham Conferences during 1856, and a great many people were baptized into the Church there. He was instrumental in helping to raise a quantity of money through contributions, and he liquidated a large debt at Liverpool as well as added to the Temple and Emigration Funds. All the tithing money was sent to the President of the European Mission at Liverpool.

Henry administered to him which seemed to help greatly. M e r spending several weeks in London, Henry traveled to several other cities and visited friends and relatives. One of the places he visited was the Newcastle upon Tyne Conference whlch included Carlisle, England. Earlier, while he was serving in this area, he conducted and preached in a conference in June, 1856.

She became more interested as she continued to investigate the Gospel, and a deep hendship grew between them. After she was baptized July 27, 1856, by Elder Thomas Adarns, her family disowned her. Henry advised her to sell her personal belongings and join the saints going to America which she did, and sailed from Liverpool on March 28, 1857, on board the George Washington which had 817 saints on board, bound for Boston. During the last visit to Carlisle Mary Ann Wilson gave Henry a poem which she had written and inscribed to Mrs. Henry Lunt:
