Leipzig Missionary Conference Spiritual Manifestations

“Leipzig, Germany, January 14, 1901. Dear Brother Penrose:—I take pleasure in reporting to you the success of our recent Conference held in this city. We had a most enjoyable time. About seventy-five Elders and ten visitors (Utah music students) were in attendance. It lasted four days. We fasted each day until evening during Conference, which was a time of rejoicing, a day of Pentecost, with the gift of tongues and the interpretation thereof, by a number of the brethren. A number of the younger brethren, who recently came from home, stated that they had never been convinced of the truth of the Gospel, but they could no longer doubt it, and bore strong testimonies. Strong men, who perhaps had never shed a tear before in their lives, broke down and could not speak. There was a spirit of union and love among the brethren such as I have never seen before. The Lord seems to have given us just what we needed the most. We had a very good attendance at our public meetings, and the people seemed to be very much interested in the remarks of the Elders. We feel that the work is growing in this land, and that the prospects for the future are very bright. We are all well and enjoying our labors. Your brother in the Gospel, A. H. Schulthess.”
