A young man was fired from his job for attending a 'Mormon' meeting. He visited the Branch President, told his story, and a neighbor of the President immediately hired him at higher wages. He was subsequently baptized.

In Their Own Words

“In one instance a young man was discharged from his employment for attending a ‘Mormon’ meeting, although his master afterwards relented and wished him to stay. The young man would not, however, remain, but came to the President of the Branch, and told his story, when a neighbor of the President’s engaged him for the winter at higher wages than he had formerly been receiving. He has since been baptized, and is doing his best to emigrate in the spring. — Millennial Star 27:46”
