Unnamed Woman Distributes Tracts and Receives Donations from Non-Members

A woman engaged in distributing Church tracts in her town received ten shillings in voluntary donations from people who were not members of the Church to aid in the purchase of more tracts within a single week.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, 15 May 1851 (Vol. 13, No. 10), page 153):

Experience is daily proving to us, to the Saints, and to the world, that wherein His people seek to spread abroad the knowledge of the Glorious Gospel to their fellow creatures, in love, humility, and with much prayer, the Lord owns their humble efforts, and crowns them with success, often to an unexpected extent. As an instance, a single person has received not less than ten shillings, in voluntary donations, from persons, not members of the Church, to aid in purchasing tracts for circulation, in one week, while engaged in her errands of distribution to the houses in her portion of the town.
