would have tea after the meeting
British
convert George Morris recorded:
“Before I
was baptized I walked eight miles to attend a fast meeting held by the Saints
in the carpenters hall in Manchester, fasted, and at four o’ clock in the
afternoon they had what they called a tea party [to break their fast]. But
there was no tea there; they had hot water with plenty of god cream and sugar
and plenty of something good to eat. I partook with them as though I had been
one of them, and felt in my heart that it was the richest feast in my life, and
the best company that I had ever enjoyed.
