labors as ambassadors for Jesus Christ
are of the most pleasant and profitable
character.
The Elders, Saints and our many

especially the interesting and excellent
sermons delivered by the inspired SER
wants OF the true and living God.
The last few weeks have been occu-
pied by the Elders OF this conference in
promulgating the Gospel in the various
county seats of western North Carolina.
with few exceptions the Elders have
been treated kindly by the people.
The press, however. often contains
articles about the Elders and Mormon
ism, of a misrepresentation character.

pray for them which despitefully use
you. We are not the enemies how

our hearts to rejoice to hear of the sue
cess of our co-laborers in truth
We are pleased to inform you that
we have splendid success in our labors
here in Jones county; many very kind
friends to entertain us, and some who
are earnestly investigating the glori-
Gus plan of salvation-the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. Many are converted here,
but they haven't had the courage to
come out and accept II yet, because
Mormonsm Is not popular with the
world. The Gospel has never been in
sympathy with the majority Of man
kind. for Christ said (John, 18th chap.
1910: 'If the world hate you, ye
know that It hated me before II hated
you. II ye wer OF the world, the world
would love his own; but because We
are not OF the world. therefore the world
hateth you"
We are pleased to say there are many
good honest people here who will
sometime i'm the near future accept the
Gospel. and enjoy the blessings OF the
same. They are very kind and hospit-
able to us Elders; they give us their
best beds 60 sleep on, plenty OF good
