The Boatman's Bethel. Where meetings were held at Jersey City, during winter of 1887-88.
Returned to Lansingburgh, Dec. 12th, and started for Jersey City, Dec. 14th, having previously engaged to labor a time there with my daughter, Mrs. Goldsmith. Immediately upon arriving there we commenced meetings in the Bethel ship, which had formerly been a California merchant vessel, but had been purchased by the boatmen and fitted up as a church. A picture of it was in Frank Leslie's paper of April 7th, 1888. (An engraving of which will be found in this book.)

... Thursday evenings at Brother Chadwick's, 8 Magnolia Avenue, Jerse}^ City, and this evening at Sister Vale's, 356 Grove Street. Brother Elsey, of Jersey City, has offered Elder Raymond the use of the propertj^ built by him last year in Currie's Woods, on the shore of Newark Bay, to conduct services in during the coming summer. He also offers to put up a tent, big enough to accommodate the thousands of hearers that may turn out to listen to the Elder. Other generously inclined persons have offered to defray the cost of building a boat house to be used by the Elder, who has been refused the use of the floating Bethel in which to carry on the faith cure services. 11
