connecting link between the German
family and the American line ny
this time all our family were much
concerned and prayed our heavenly
Father TO aid us in finding the IN
formation so much desired.
Feeling that he had done all in his
power Homer wrote to my rather az
also the relatives in Utah to fast on a
certain Sunday and petition the KIND
Father Of all to show him where to
find the desired information.
The request was most earnestly COM
piled with. and my father was very
much concerned and prayed unceasing-
~ for help The good Spirit said unto
him, Are you willing to make a sacri-
tice?" My father felt that ne had
made great many sacrifices ana was
willing to make more if need be-
At this time his second son, a man
of % years was very Ill at home and
when he died few days later father
felt that he had indeed made a sacrl-
flee, and truly a great one. God works
in a mysterious way His wonders to
perform and it Is difficult for us to
always see that our hardest trials turn
to be our greatest blessings. 1T seems
that the work for our dead could not
be accomplished without assistance
from some one who had died with the
priesthood and the young man that
died on this occasion was the only one
of that line holding the Melchisedec
priesthood that had passed beyond the
veil.
After our deep sorrow at home sud-
denly came the joyous news from
abroad that the connecting link was
found. In his travels Homer was i'm
pressed to go to Johanngeorgenstadt
and there in the church records he
found that one Christian Henry Bush
man had been born there at the time
corresponding with the birth of Abra-
ham Bushman's father, but as his
death was not recorded 1t is very prob
able that he went to America and IS
my great-great- grandfather and thus
it was made clear through the bless
ings OF an Allwise God.
It is not the design of God that we
should receive any great blessing With
out g. sacrifice.
