Elder N. H. promised a group of elders, including G. C. Ferguson, that if they lived their religion in their new conference assignments, they would be more blessed than they had ever been before. G. C. Ferguson later testified that he saw this promise fulfilled in his experience as President of the Whitechapel Branch, even amidst trials.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 29, No. 30, 27 July 1867, p. 476):

In Their Own Words
