Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: April 28, 1910
I could not keep my seat when the priest said the 'mormons' were not Christians, and didn't believe in Christ. I told him about my dear mother, who is now dead, taking me on her lap many times when I was only four or five years old, teaching me that J esus was the Son of God, and about His atonement and that it was only through Him that we all could be saved. Addressing the pastor, I said: 'these lessons I'll never forget as long as I live, and let me tell you, pastor, that my mother was a 'mormon' and that I was born over in Utah. Now don't you ever tell anybody that the Latter-day Saints don't teach Christ and Him crucified, for that is a falsehood.' He bowed his head as if he were ashamed. 'why, ' said I, 'i have never heard anything but that as long back as I can remember; if there is anybody who believes in J esas, the Latter-day Saints do.' I continued my talk to him, and explained authority, and revelation, and priesthood, telling him about the restoration of the same, etc. He then looked at his watch and said it was time to go, but, before he went, I made him a present of 'the Fundamental Principles of the Gospel, ' (by Apostle Orson Pratt), which he accepted and promised to read. He took me by the hand and thanked me. We parted after about forty minutes interview. When the elders previously visited this man he had in almost every case refused to take our tracts, but now he accepted a good book.
