Charley Frink, a nephew of the Frinks visiting from Missouri, was baptized after receiving a remarkable manifestation. According to his account, it was similar to Sister Sharp's vision where he was told Mormonism was the truth and he must be baptized.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67, No. 9, 2 March 1905):
Charley Frink, a nephew of the Frinks, visiting from Missouri, was baptized after receiving a remarkable manifestation. He said that he had a vision similar to that of Sister Sharp, in which he was told that Mormonism was the truth and that he must be baptized.
In Their Own Words
“He was induced to become a Latter-day Saint, not only through the teachings he had received at his uncle’s house, but by a remarkable manifestation he had experienced there. According to his account, it was very similar to the experience of Mrs. Sharp, at Akron, in which she was told that “Mormonism” was the truth, and that she must be baptized in order to be saved.— Millennial Star 67:9”
