Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 83: March 24, 1921 I said to you that I know that the Lord communicates with his servants. I have not doubted this as a fact since I was a boy and heard the testimony of my father, regarding the revelation that came to him of the divinity of the mission of the Prophet Joseph. I feel impressed to relate that circumstance and add his testi mony to the one that I am now giving. He accepted a call to a mission about 1880. When he began preaching, in his native land, and bore testimony of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, he noticed that the people turned away from him. They were bitter in their hearts against anything 'mormon, and the name of Joseph Smith seemed to arouse antagonism in their hearts. One day he concluded that the best way to get these people would be to preach just the simple principles, the atone ment of the Lord Jesus Christ, the first principles of the gospel, and not bear testimony of the restoration of the gospel. It first came 'simply, as a passing thought, but yet it influenced his future work. In a month or so he became oppressed with a gloomy, downcast feeling and he could not enter into the spirit of his work. He did not really know what was the matter, but his mind became obstructed, his spirit became clogged, he was oppressed and hampered; and that feeling of depression continued until it weighed him down with such heaviness that he went to the Lord and said: 'unless I can get this feeling removed, I will have to go home. I can not continue my work with this feeling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
