Their preaching created much excitement in our town but had link cffecr for nearly 3 ycars. lc was a cons[anl annoyance LO my feelings. I hecame dissatisfied wich all denominarions and mysclf. 111 thc Elders passing through oul. country d~ey frequen{lg stopped at my housc. In discussing with them upon thc principals of thc Gospel, they would cufi'mc about likc an old pair of boots. I came 10 the coiiclusion that the reason of my being handlcd so easy was because J did not understand the Biblc and the Book of Mormon.

I resolved to preparc myself for lhz conflict b). investigating heruro book$. 1 accordingly furnished niyscll' with thc Book of Mormon. [ then commenced the Book of Motmoll and [he , compared dle two. and read my Bible from Genesis right through. praying and searching diligenrly I'or 6 months. When I finished the two Books. I became a firm belicvcr in d~eBook of Mormon. I was then taught by the Spirit to obey rhe p~inciplesof thc Gospcl.

My fcelings wcre not known by any but my wifc. 1 was proud and haufhty. and to obcy the Gospel was worsc than death. I laboured undcr those feelings for 3 months. bccorning at times almost insane. To be called a Mormon, I thought, was morc than 1 could endure. 1 lamcntcd that my lo[ was casc in this dispensation. . . 1 a1 lasc covented before the Lord that if he would give me confidence to face thc world in Mormonism I would be baptifed Tor heremission of my sins, and before I rosc from my knees, the horrors of my mind wcre clcared. I fearcd no man no sct ofmcn. Thc next day I wen[ to the Merhodisr meeting and declared unto them the truth of Mormonism. I told them 1 should obey ir as soon as I could get to IClrtland.
