Sr. Dealamar [Marie De La Mare] then Sung in tongues a Sweet and beautiful Hymn and whe[n] she had sung the Interpretation of it was found to be comforting to all Present

Sr. Snow advised the Sisters not to indulge too much in the gift of Toungues as there was danger of giving way to false Spirits by so doing but that it was a blessed gift if rightly used

All present felt to rejoice in God and to praise his holy name.
