Junction Hotel and were welcome. We
stayed over Sunday. Monday morning
we started Tor Danville on foot, a dis.
lance OF about seventy.fve miles. We
had a very pleasant trip and met many
warm friends.
Arriving at Danville, a place Of 1000
inhabitants, our first work was to visit
the Mayor, Thomas Price, who gave us
the privilege OF using the street corner,
if we desired. Next we visited the

which was flattering piece in the even

on missions the same US he would IN the
fields and shops Of Zion.
Through the great changes that have
been wrought among the inhabitants OF
the earth, the power OF God, and the
great success and kind treatment we
Elders receive, we sometimes get to
glorying in our own ability; then the
Lord sometimes causes us TO go little
hungry to humblel us and to tei c US
obedience; but oh how willing again He
is to bless us, when we turn TO and put
our trust in HIM
AT our conference held in Ohio county
last June, Elder L. b. Pace and myself
we're appointed to labor in Nelson coun-
ty, where we labored until our president,
Elder S A. Smith, visited US about the
first OF September. During his visit we
held series OF meetings, and had an
enjoyable time together. We were
kindly treated by all and at the close OF
our meeting the people flocsed around
us by dozens; and as they bid us good
bye, the tears in their eyes plainly told
that we had gained their confidence,
while the future remains to demonstrate
whether they accept and obey the truth
or not.
At the departure of our president,
Elder Thomas Martin and ! were left
together and were TO meet two new Ell
ders on the 10th OF September. As APP
pointed we met Elders Charles A.
Cobbley OF Pleasant Grove, Utah, and
William Hansen Of Logan, Utah, who
were oveijoyed to meet and see us.
After few hours we spent together
Elders Martin and Hansen took leave OF
us, and started for Spencer county, while
| myself aud Elder Cobbley and
finished the canvassing OF Nelson
county.
We finished our labors in Nelson and
started for Lincoln county ON the 18th OF
| October. We arrived at Stanford, the
county seat OF Lincoln county on the
18th, and visited all the county officials
| explaining to them our object and
mission among them. We were treated
by all with courtesy, and on visiting the
editor OF the paper he gave us genial
welcome and friendly send of in his
paper. While holding meetings in the
court house we we're entertained by the
! leading citizens OF the town, among
whom is DIR. Obannon, the leading
physician OF the county, and a staunch
member OF the Methodist church.
II Is little more than two weeks since
we arrived in the county, and since our
arrival we have been treated kindly by
all, for which we feel TO thank our
heavenly Father; and with His blessings
we feel to say in our hearts that we will
continue to perform our duty in spread
ing the Gospel truths.
| will say TO all young men in Zion,
prepare yourselves to work in the Mas
ter's vineyard Tor the harvest truly is
great but the laborers few.

pointed and important instructions. We
we're particularly instructed to travel
without purse OF scrip, after which the
Elders were assigned to their fields OF
labor, Brothers John Il. Crawford
aud Joshua Selley being assigned to
labor in the city OF Emporium, Cameron
County, Pennsylvania. Emporium be-
ing the county seat. and being deslrons
OF following out the instructions OF Our
president in regard to purse and scrip,
we travelled by rail from Cumberland
Maryland, to the famous flood city oil
Iohnstown, Pennsylvania, arriving there
on the afternoon Of November 9Th, with.
out any money. We were one hundred
aud sixty miles from Jour field OF labor.
From Johnstown we travelled by the
county road, making friends every.
where. We could see the first day how
abundantly the Lord was able to bless
us, and so 1t was throughout our
entire journey.
After very pleasant trip through
the counties Of Cambria, Blair, Centre
and Clearfield, blazing trail that be-
lieve the Elders in the future will easily
find, we arrived here at noon on the 18th
of October, feeling well and with de
sire TO plunge in to the arena and uphold
the banner oil the everlasting Gospel.
After calling for our mail we started out
10 make friends, and 1t seemed that
every person we met was our friend.
So we did not lack for accommodations,
and had the privilege OF holding meet
ing in the Wesley IN chapel the next day,
at which we made many more friends.
We visited the postmaster, made a
friend OF him; also visited several OF the

sheriff, school board directors, business
men, ministers and editors, subscribed
for the two weekly newspapers, which
gave very kind notices, and informed us
that any notices we may want would be
published free OF charge. Aud SO it
has been; every day we make more
friends.
From all we can learn we are the first
Mormon Elders that have labored in
this part OF the state Tor twenty five
years. We have secured permission
from the school board Of Shippin Town.
ships to hold meetings at any time and
as long as we choose in any or all OF the
seventeen schoolhouses under their
control. So we have Just started out on
our campaign; SO far have held seven
| very well attended and successful meet
| ings. The people with whom we have
associated are well educated, are usually
free from prejudice, and are willing to
hear what we have to say. They are
very kind and courteous; here l will
say that the people of the Southern
States had better look to their laureis
as regards hospitality. for the people OF

to show their Christianity by their
works.
| From day TO day we meet many hon

will be done here in this country.

During the latter part Of September,
Elder Wotton and myself were met by
Elder Young, our President, and Elder
Huntington in Warren county, where
we held several well attended meetings.
After we had closed series OF meetings,
three honest souls presented themselves
Tor baptism. After attending to this
sacred ordinance, we started for De
kalb county. 1he first thing we did
after arriving there, was, to get out ap.
continents for a meeting. We had
very good audiences to listen to the
| Gospel truths. We taught the Saints

Az matter OF fact, and in spite of
its having carried Mohammed in four
leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven
miles an hour is the camel's limit, nor
can it maintain this rate over two hours.
Its usual speed is five miles an hour

1t might break its heart and die literally

When a camel is pressed beyond this

it kneels. and where it kneels it dies.

To the Editor;
Having now travelled aud labored in
the Blue Grass State for twenty months
as an ambassador Tor Christ, ! take
pleasure in submitting some OF my feel
ings and experiences to the readers OF
the News, trusting they may to some
extent, comfort the hearts OF wives and
mothers who have husbands and sons
travelling in the sunny south.
During my labors, ] have travelled
through portions OF central and western
Kentucky, but have labored principally
in four counties. Notwithstanding there
is still some prejudice towards the
Elders and the cause they represent,
will venture the assertion, that the peo-
pie OF the Blue Grass state are second to
none III kind hospitality. have found
many warm friends who would have
shared, 1t necessary, the last crust they
had with Mormon Elder. Who can but
say in his heart God bless theml"
Hundreds OF them are good honest
hearted people and will in time, no doubt,
be brought into the fold OF Christ.
Owing to the sanderous reports and
ialsehoods that have been carried aud
scattered broadcast by Satan, great
mountains OF prejudice have arisen be-
fore the eyes of the people and blinded
them against the truth, until It seems
almost impossible to touch them; but as
the marble slab is Chiseled aud smoothed
by the steady and constant stroke OF the
mason's hammer, while he occasionally
applies water to soften the stone and
wash away the debris, so the mountains
OF prejudice are being steadily removed
by the constant application OF the chisel
Of truth in the hands Of tile Elders, and
the applying oil the spirit OF God to
soften the hearts OF tire people and wash
away the debris oil sin from their hearts.
Under the wise direction oil our presi
dent at Chattanooga aud his assistant

OF July last, to fill mission in the state
OF California. | arrived in San Fran

/ remained until the Ist OF August.
was then called by President III. s.
Tanner to labor in Sacramento, with
Elders Henderson, Loveless and Muir
dock. We met with fair success, but
found it hard to get people out to our
meetings; but in our carding and tract
ing we met people who were ever ready
to read some oil the doctrines OF the
Mormon people, as we are termed, as
they had heard so much Of us, and there
was much prejudice laid aside which has
been in existence so long. 1t is hoped
that the seed that was sown will soon
take root and grow with much rapidly.
We lett that city on the and OF o.
tober, to attend conference at San Fran
cisco, which was held on the 4th On
the sth a meeting of the Elders was
, called, twenty oil us altogether, in which
Elder Tanner gave us some very good
and interesting instructions. We also
had our different fields OF labor allotted
10 us, in which Elder Murdoch and my
self were called to the southern part oil
the state to labor.
We lett San Francisco on the 10th for
our southern journey. We visited the
| city OF San Jose Tor few days, where
we met with some very nice people. We
left there on the morning OF the I4th for
| Los Angeles, where we arrived on the
morning OF the 18th. Elders Tanner
| and Scowcroit and family arrived the
following day. The conference Of the
Southern California conference was held
the following Sunday, the 18th, in which
we had very enjoyable time, together
with the Saints and Elders.
Since that time there have been some
changes made. On the morning OF the
| 9Th OF this month, Elder Tanner receiv.
field OF labor and return to his Utat
home. 1t was somewhat OF surprise
to the Elders on hearing OF 1t, and he
will be missed great deal by the Elder,
! and the Saints OF California. Eide
Tanner has treated the Elders with III,
greatest kindness since my arrival in the
mission, and from all reports he has II
all his time in the mission aimed to dt
the same towards all. 1t is hoped h,
will arrive home in safety, and there b,
made welcome by all OF his friends, anC
that h. will ever enjoy the S ir,t OF Irutl
to lead him.
We trust that Elder Nye, who ha
been called to fill his position, will n
sustained by all the Elders laboring il

been, and that the Spirit may lead hil
to direct Alright the affairs PERTAINING I,
