From that very moment the powers of darkness gave way and a different influence surrounded me, and I saw clearly that I was engaged in a great and glorious work; that the Gospel must be preached to all that had ears to hear, the poor as well as the rich. ”

“ I ate very sparingly, and went to bed feeling rather discouraged, and thinking I could do no good among such poor people.

He replied, "Mr. Rosenbaum, I promise you in the name of Israel's God, 3 T ou will, if you obey the principles of the Gospel, and honestly ask your heavenly Father for it." Such a promise I longed for, and made up my mind to embrace the truth; was baptized on the 27th of March, 1858, by Brother John Tingey, of the Seventeenth Ward, Salt Lake City; and a short time after, I received a testimony which I desire never to forget. ”

I comforted myself with " Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and speak all manner of evil against you falsely for my name's sake." ”
