In Their Own Words
“Elder Peay said he embraced the opportunity afforded him with pleasure, because he could speak to the truth of this work; related the circumstances connected with his conversion to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by following the injunction: ‘If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth liberally and upbraideth not,’ and his earnest desire was gratified, and the Savior’s promise verified. — Millennial Star 52:12”
