IN THE WAKEFIELD DISTRICT.
Missionary Labor of Two Elders
In the Sheffield Conference.

Elder Mark A. Coombs, in a letter
dated Hemsworth, Aug. 2S, reports as
follows;
For the last four months we have
been busily engaged I'm travelling from
door TO door distributing Gospel tracts,
and where the opportunity was pre-
sented would converse with the people
on the principles we are advocating
As a result, while we have met much
opposition we have made many warm
friends, whose doors are always open
to va.
Two weeks ago while our president,
Elder Franklin H. Wyatt, was visiting
MS. we held an open air meeting In the
village and by the time we were
through with our second hymn, we
were surrounded with large crowd
of people. all seeming curious to know
what we "Mormons' had to say. was
the first speaker and without any inter-
ruptlon explained briefly to them our
mission here and the necessity Of COM
plying with the plan of salvation as
taught by our Savior and His Apostles.
Elder Wyatt followed and held the
audience spell bound for 40 minutes,
speaking on the first principles of the
Gospel A Rev Mr., Mason was among
our listeners and near the close Of Ell
der WAITS remarks, interrupted him
with a question foreign to the subject
under discussion II was very evident
that his purpose was to break up our
meeting. We succeeded In closing In
order with prayer by Elder Leigh.
At the close our friend assailed us
verStseverely, and closed his TRADE by
appealing TO his hearers to not be led
astray by these young men from Utah.
He said they are only here to deceive
you. Ask them how many wives they
have. and WHOM they worship? He
said tlIey4 worship Joseph Smith and
Brigham Young After listening to him
until he was through, we quietly dis
tributed our tracts which We're eagerly
taken. and then returned 10 our lodge
The following week we again held a
meeting at the same place and the
same gentleman was there to oppose
u.s. but this time he waited until we
were through, when he attempted to
prove that baptism was not essential
to salvation. He started out on the
wife question again, but was very NICE
" called down by an unknown friend,
who said that these young men had not
been saying anything about how many
wives a man should have, but that we
had been preaching the Gospel from
the Scriptures. The Interruption of
our friend, whose name we did not
learn, seemed to meet the approval OF
many, and II was very evident that
we had the sympathy of the majority
of our listeners.
The incident has made us many
friends and we feel more encouraged
than ever.

more provocative OF fun than anything
else and The Joke was on the members
that had not attended any of the sessions

session.

Workers was productive Of nothing that
was startling I'm the way OF business
President King was in the chair and ruled
over the session, in his businesslike way.
The proceedings OF the meeting were OF
the regular routine sort, several members
being taken into membership. IL was
thought that the meeting would not be
as successful as if held on the regular
meeting night, but this was found 10 be
wrong. every member usually in attend

The reports OF the committees were full
OF interest and the inances of the body
were never better. There were several
matters that came up for discussion but
