spectcd him for his wisdom and earnest~
ness In his work: 80 those who were for
tunate enough 20 rumber him among
their friends were drawn 10 him in the
spirit Of true fellowship for his thought

comfort and welfare. with the same nrm-
ness and kindllness Of heart as he showed

Elders Visit the Guardian OF Grim
Relies.


Elder f. II. Brown, writing from
Grand Rapids, Mich, May &C. says
Four Elders are laboring In this city;
that Is, we have our rooms here. Two
Elders labor In the country one week,
and two In the city and change about
every other week. At present Elders
Hyrum Anderson, James r. Frodsham,
Robert w. Moyes and myself are la
boring In this city. We have met with
fair success. One Baptism was per-
formed recently. We have been treated
Well by the authorities Of the city,
and are granted the privilege Of hold
Ing melting anywhere on the main
streets OF the city, The police give US
the same protection they give to other
denominations. Sometimes we have
audiences OF 400 persons. A few weeks
ago | and Elder Arnold Christensen
visited Mr., Sllas H. Raymond Of this
city, who II Is claimed, has the old Ian
tern and tar bucket used to tar and
feather the Prophet Joseph. The gen
tleman received US very cordially and
told US about how 1t happened. He
never knew anything except what he
had been taught, as he was only one
year old when IL happened He says
his father was the leader OF the mob.
He told us It would be no use trying
TO convert him, as he had been brought
up to hate the "Mormons,' but, says
he, | win never put a straw in your
way, and he invited as to come and see
him again any time. He has a hard
time TO tell US anything. as he has been
paralyzed in his speech.
Since this visit to Mr.. Raymond,
Elder Christensen has been sent to Ia
Dor in the city Of Kalamazoo, and
Elder Frodsham was sent her to take
his place.
The News and Era are welcome
