An unnamed elder's experience of anti-Mormon prejudice and confirmation of truth in Stirling

“One gloomy, misty morning a young elder was distributing tracts in Stirling, Scotland. He had been away from his home in Utah only a few months, but he had already encountered the opposition that prejudice and bigotry were hurling against the Church. For the first time in his life he had felt the sting of ostracism. . . The most real thing to him in all the world were his own thoughts and feelings, and he knew as he knew nothing else that those women, and all who thought as they, though the number might run into millions, were deceived. . . A few days later his companion and he met a minister, who accused them of not being Christians because they believed in the Book of Mormon. Again the elder knew, knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that, in company with all his associates, he accepted Christ and him crucified; The very purpose of his being in Stirling was to bear witness that the living Christ had again spoken to man; to testify that there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind may be saved. . . On that one point, at least, the young elder knew absolutely that those professing Christian leaders were in error, and were teaching the people falsehoods. — Millennial Star 85:2”
