The Methodist conference passed a resolution in favor of the amendment by a unanimous vote.

I was in the State during the intense heat of May and June, speaking every evening to large audiences; in the afternoon to women alone, and preaching every Sunday in some pulpit.

The Methodists, Universalists, Unitarians, and Quakers all threw open their churches to the apostles of the new gospel of equality for women.

We spoke in jails, prisons, asylums, depots, and the open air.

Wherever there were ears to hear, we lifted up our voices, and, on the wings of the wind, the glad tidings were carried to the remote corners of the State, and the votes of forty thousand men, on election day, in favor of the amendment were so many testimonials to the value of the educational work accomplished.
I made many valuable acquaintances, on that trip, with whom I have maintained lifelong friendships.
