When Solomon Chamberlain first heard the words 'Gold Bible' spoken by the farmhouse people, he experienced an extraordinary physical manifestation: a power like electricity went from the top of his head to the end of his toes. When the woman of the house spoke again about the Gold Bible that Joseph Smith had found, he felt another shock of the power of God go from his head to his feet. These manifestations testified to his spirit that he had found the work he had been seeking for years.
