"a queer story was related to me
many years ago by Rev. William Simp-
son, then one of the leading lights Of the
western Illinois" said Harvey Good
enough, Hawkeye pioneer, at the La
clede. "While the Mornons were car
rying things with a high hand in west
ern Illinois they converted a young
woman, a member Of Elder Simpsons
flock. A few months spent at Nauyoo
sufiiced to disenchant her, and she re
turned home a confirmed skeptic. The
church people labored with her long and
faithfully, but without overcoming her
unbelief. Before her bedroom window
stood large oak tree. She announced
that she was going to pray the Lord for
a sign-that she would ask him if he
really had an existence to manifest it by
causing the great oak tree to wither, rs
Christ is said to have blasted the uu-
fruitful fig tree. She was to prefer he.
request for sign upon which to ground
her faith at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
"Her resolution at once became the
talk of the town, and many visited the
tree and carefully examined it. 1t was
perfectly sound, full of sap and covered
with a profusion Of bright green leaves.
AT sunset every leaf was as brown and
withered as in the depths of winter. The
elder stated that with party of men he
cut the tree down and dug mp the stump,
and that it was dead from the topmast
branch to the smallest root. The young
woman's prayer had been answered. She
