THOMAS DoBsoNs EXPERIENCE.
Thomas pobson. whose picture is re.
produced on this page, was born June
A. 1887, In Preston. England the city
where "Mormonism' WAS first publicly
preached in Great Britain. on the day
and in the same church. that Of Rev.
James Fielding, where Elder Hsber c.
Kimball and others explained their
doctrines on that memorable Sabbath
In July. 1881. Thomas Dobson. then
little over a month old. was christened
into the Church OF England. Shortly az
forwards his mother was baptized be-
ing one OF the first seven women TO be
converted by the Mormon" elders
Thomas was baptized when he was
eight years old In 1856 the family
then consisting of the mother, two sons
and one daughter, emigTated 20 Amer
lea. They were members OF the last
handcart company Of the season, the
one that suffered most. Thomas vas 10
years old, and from the Sweetwater 10
the end Of the Journey was entirely
without shoes Both his big toes were
50 badly frozen that IL was thought he
would lose the members Elder Eph-
RAIN X Hanks administered to the
youth AID promised him that his toes
would be saved. Later IN the evening

Thomas performed a clog dance. BY re-.
quest. and he declares that from tho
same moment until the present time the
toes have never troubled him.
The members Of the Dobson family
arrived safely IN salt Lake valley For
30 years prior 10 1908. Thomas was a
nightwatchmsn IN this city. and few
men In salt Lake were more extensive

ROBERT CAME ALONE.
Another question here presents itself.
for which we can only conjecture an
answer Being a boy OF not more than
Is years Of ace, what brought Robert
Smith from home? Was he alone In
The world, and but following out the
teachings received al a devout mothers
knee. or from the lips Of an eNiled
father Or Is his case the parallel OF
50 many such among the early settlers
Of Utah? Was he sent out 10 the Pur-
tan Zion 10 prepare the way for parents
and brothers and sisters who never
can.e2 As Will be remembered the
civil war broke out four years after
he left England We are sure only OF
this. that so far as we know. no rela-
tive ~ his ever came 10 the new world.
