He said, "My Cody fathers prayers are an
swered now," as he had concluded to be wholly
the Lords. Then he implored me to pray for
him.
did then and there.
Saturday night he came and we went out on
the street and walked and talked. He i'm
plored me to come 10 church on Sunday and
pray for him as never had before for God TO
bless the service on that day. This was the
Sunday before he went to Sacramento.
The morning sermon made deep impress
sion on my mind, as well on many others
who spoke to me. Just after Sunday-school he
came and took my hand and said:
II felt your prayers while preaching"
/ said, II arose before dawn and prayed for
God to preach in YOU" He said, "He did.
think he did"
And l forgave him because of his own words.
Then went to Deacon Bernard in company
with Miss Overman and told him of a change
in DR.. B. Also Deacon Dexter and Captain
Cook, telling them the story of his reconsecra-
ton, and said, elf he stays or goes, and he may
do the latter, he is changed man."
I also told Mr.. Johnson in the City of Paris,
where he works. Also Mr. Harrison and Mr..
Skillicom, superintendent of Mount Carmel
Sunday-schooi OH Harrison street. After meet
ing Sunday night Mrs. Barnard, wife of Dea-
con Barnard, said to me, 81 do see change in
Dr. Brown"
On Thursday night, December IS, DR.. Brown
sent for me to come to his Office at 7:3O with
Miss Overman.
We were making visit to Mrs. Aber and Miss
Overman brought the message, but had kept
it from me till after tea. In the evening
went with her, not knowing what it meant.
We found DR.. Brown there in state or great
anger. He said had deceived him. He then
related how he met Miss Overman that after
noon.
Then Miss Overman sprang up like an en-
ragged lioness and said was enything but a
Christian-a deceiver. She said DR.. Brown had
told her all the story of how had got their
hearts secrets, and replied:
CDR. B. made me promise never to tell you
anything"
Dr. B. then denied 1t all and such a scene fol-
lowed that looked for death at their hands
l saw before me the blackness of hell itself.
They seemed both bereft OF reason in their
mad looks.
We left at 1O:45; but had said nothing, but
viewed them in astonishment. saw plainly
they were doomed, as all confidence in DR.. B.
forsook me and was glad to escape alive from
his Office.
Inow would not hear him preach nor believe
him under oath. Miss o. returned with me,
packed her trunk that night and left about IL
o'clock. or nearly SO.
Sunday night the after meeting was the
be st of the day.
DR.. B. took my hand at It's close and said
ut is Gods work in me-"
Miss o. seemed deeply moved and I went
home-so happy that tie great change had
come to them both. And so returned direct
thanks to God, believing that all was we'll
with both, and God would work in them his
will as in Heaven.
Saturday night he called o. he. We took a

60 to church tomorrow" told him, after see
ing him so oppressed, subdued and penitent,
would, for believed him penitent and should
listen to him as never did before.
Mrs Baddin came after l returned home and
1 paid her the money. She SAID 1 could collect
monthly dues and pay her when she
returned, which might be several months.
She said she was not short of money and moth
ing could tempt her now to expose DR.. Brown
or the woman. She went away did not
care where and did not ask her. l felt heartily
sick of the whole matter.
Next day went to church and DR.. B. seemed
changed man. 1 still felt that God would
punish him for his great crime some time.
But he said, II have suffered so much feel
forgiven OF God"
Friday morning she came and wanted me to
tell her what intended to do with their Sc
crets-if l intended to carry them to the
church. l said:
'You and the doctor have told me you had
no confidence in me, so, of course, l should say
nothing to YOU"
She menaced me and attempted violence on
my person after locking my door and bracing
herself against it to prevent my going out.
commanded her to leave.
81 must go out" said.
All the time she kept saying, "What will you
do about it?"
She obeyed me al last and then followed me
on the street. 1 said: II have politely listened
to all both of you have said to me, but never
replied, because you both contradicted me at
the start last night"
She turned and left me.
On Saturday, December 20, DR.. B. called.
Mrs. Dewing. 1905 California street, was pres
ent. He waited for her to leave and then
shook his fist in my face and said
"Iou are liar. / will have you arrestedr'
Sunday, December %, / went to my Sum-
day-school class, but did not go to hear him
preach. Neither will !, being greatly fatigued
with fasting and prayer on Sunday, with no
sleep on Saturday night. / went Sunday noon
from Surday-school to the house of friend
where am resting myself and prepare this
account There are points in this statement
that can be worked up. 1 believe the inclosed
card is that of the woman who keeps the
house where they stopped last November "a,
1894. My informant, the woman, must have
been there tor some purpose. She did not say
she was the housekeeper, but said she stopped
there.
At any rate, DR.. Brown told me to settle with
her and said she must not come to his Office or
apartments. I am sure if DR.. Brown wished
me to go with him to such a house or any
strange house, could not and would not be
seen going to such places with him after hear
ing his own story. But this he did not ask me
to do as he wished to avoid her.
I did not ask the woman's address, for
should rot visit her, and she assured me that
she was not in the former place on Sixth
street, but was stopping elsewhere and getting
ready to leave The City. The enclosed card
has the address she gave of the place where
they stopped. This is all know of the matter.
Address, Mrs. Julia Gillie corner Sixth and
Bryant streets. Mrs. ABBOTT DAVIDSON.
Mrs. Davidson was particularly interested in
page $" of her manuscript. This was lost
among other fragments. portion Of 1t which
was found read as follows:
1 said, ''Do you keep house now?"
She said: mo; am not housekeeper now.
/ have since got married, and my name is Bad
den."
Then she spoke of the evils of this City, which
lodging-house keepers know more of tnan most
