In Their Own Words
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters: It gives me great pleasure to bear my humble testimony to the truth of the gospel taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some months ago I was handed a tract by Elder Wm. W. Dummer, which I read and compared with the Word of God. I saw the teachings were true and scriptural, and I felt a desire to know more of them. I attended the services of the Saints, and the more I heard the more I was convinced that they were the people of God. I prayed to my Heavenly Father for guidance, and I felt led by the Spirit to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was baptized on Sunday, the 27th ult., in Belfast, Ireland, and I pray that my Heavenly Father may give me grace, wisdom and power to walk worthily in His sight, and that I may be enabled to endure faithful to the end. I am thankful to the Lord for the light of the Gospel, and I desire to live so that I may be a credit to the Church. I wish to thank Elder Dummer and Elder Hatch for their kindness to me in explaining the principles of the Gospel. Your sister in the Gospel, Martha McWade.”
