Marion County. Fla.
Nfa,t on 1909

Marion County, Fla.
May 20, 1898
Late one afternoon W months
ago two travellers approached n resi-
dence in this county, and saying that
they were minister of the Gospel and
were travelling without scrip or
purse" asked for entertainment for
the night. They were willingly re-
ceived, and without knowing or car
ing to what church they belonged,
their host asked them If they would
preach that night. They gladly con-
scented to do 30. and although there
were present only a few, they sue
ceeded in awakening the interest of
those few. These two men were
Elders James II. Allen and Albert
Jenrles of Utah. When it was found
out that there were really two Nor
mons in our midst the whole com
munity was thrown into state of
great excitement.
OF course the majority OF thot peo-
pie were very prejudiced and the
Elders We're at once condemned as
tramps and impostors. Some who
cared but very little for public opinion
went to hear them preach again and
again until at last spirit OF investi-
CATION seemed to take possession of
all, and they wished to prove for them
selves If the Gospel the Elders pro-
claimed was "of God or man." I'll
venture to assert that the Bible was
studied more carefully by our people
during that time than it had ever been
before. Indeed some of us did not
know but that our Bible. instead of
our Discin'i~-e ; --'---,- ~. 49, cd

Finally the ministers of the different
churches awoke to realization of the
fact that some "silly, illiterate souls
were in danger of being converted,
and something must be done. So one
of them, Christian, decided to meet
the Elders in debate. As the churches
and all public buildings were closed
against them, Elders Allen, Jefferies,
Tanner and Stevenson were holding n
meeting at private house, when this
minister walked into their midst,
armed with his Bible, and prepared
whom the Elders We're leading as

men who We're sure they did have the

was with them to prove that they
were striving to do good instead OF
harm to the people. And moreover,
! defy any preacher In this county to
meet Elder l.. A. Stevenson in any
argument on the Bible and come out
victorious.
Mr.. Stevenson not only always knows
what to say, but he can also say II
faster than any man I ever saw. Since
that time none of tue preachers have
dared to meet "a Mormon Elder, he

privilege of being in attendance. and

of such n treat.
Before leaving my mountain home.
l often wondered, while listening to

experiences, and the joyous times the
Elders would have ut conference and
the number of miles they would walk
in order to be present on such occa-
sions, IL it could be possible II such
could be the case, while people at home
possessing fine carriages and teams
would often remain at home and let
priceless opportunities pass them by
unheeded. But since l have been
travelling In similar capacity and
have experienced the invaluable bene-
fits of melting with the true servants
of God in conference assembled, and

faith, renews his desires TO do good,
and causes him to rejoice in the work
in which he is engaged as an ambas-
sador Of Jesus Christ. / have come to
the conclusion that what others have
said in this respect, / can also say.
At our conference there We're present,

in this part of the state. VIM. T. Jack.

building in the city OF Fort Smith, IN

kindly rendered the use of a large Of

the Elders and the Saints, that Is, was
large enough to accommodate the
number.
My companion and myself endeav-
ored to procure each public building
In the city; but in every case were re-
fused. We have held meetings on the
streets at night. At every meeting
large crowds gathered to hear what
the Mormons had to say. And Mt the
close of each meeting number would
shake our hands and admit that It was
the first time they had ever heard tChC
Gospel preached In It's purity and sim.

had concerning the Latter-day Saints
were false.

arriving in Chattanooga was assigned

our late conference, which was held in
December. labored in the county OF
Casey. / had a pleasant time. The
neople were very kind to the Elders
and we had the privilege Of baptizing
twenty-five h nest souls into the fold
of Christ.
At the December conference was
assigned to labor in this Galloway
travelling companion. Our labors thus
for have been those of pleasure and
Joy though we have had much opposi-
ton to meeting with on account Of
much prejudice existing among the
people, but we have never had to
suffer for food nor yet sleep with
Uncle Sam; and therefore we praise
the good people Of Galloway county.
Though we have had our. funeral
sermon preached Gas we Elders call
it) yet We have noticed whenever such
has been the case we have had friends
raised up to administer to our wants.
and we believe there Is a rich harvest
in this part for some Elders to reap.
The fruits have not been brought forth
us YET. but We iiolN ~ NC ttbit W SNHN-
ter the seeds Of love and truth among
this people.
Last week we had the privilege Of
baptlzing one more honest soul into
the fold of Christ. We announced that
we would baptize in the Tennessee
river on the Kentucky side. but when
we went to the river we found the
banks were too muddy; so we de-
cided to cross over in Tennessee, and
forty-nve Kentuckians with two Nor
mon Elders boarded the boat and
with two large negroes at the oars
we began to cross the beautiful Ten
nessee river, which is half a mile wide.
The company consisted of large and
small, young and old, black and white;
