Two instances that occurred about this time, as specimens of others, may suffice.

A mother, who had renounced the faith, (i.e.left the society,) come to Niskeuna to see, her daughter.

Eldress Hannah Matterson told the daughter to go into the room to her carnal mother, and say, ' What do you come here for?
I don't want you to come and see me with your carnal affections!' 'The mother being grieved, replied, 'I did not expect that a daughter of mine would ever address me in that manner.' 'The daughter, in obedience to what she was taught, replied again, 'You have come here with your carnal fleshly desires, and I don't want to see you,' and left her mother." "Some time after, one Duncan Shapley, who had belonged to the society, called to see Abigail, his sister, at Niskeuna, whom he had not seen for six or seven years; but he was not admitted: he waited some time, being loath to go away without seeing her.

At last she was ordered to go to the window and address him in the language of abuse and scurrility.

The words she made use of, it would be indecent to mention.
