Synopsis
Excerpt from The Making of a Mormon
It was a Saturday afternoon in August. Two young missionaries, Elders Smith and Harding, sat in the study room of their lodge reading the letters they had penned to their parents and sweethearts, whom they had left in the fair vales of Utah a little over a year before. Opening his journal, Elder Smith took from between the leaves a tiny flower, a sweet Forget-me-not, which he had found by the wayside, and placed it in one of the letters. Then he walked over to.the window and stood for a short time watching the crowds of humanity passing to and fro.
The little cuckoo clock announcing the hour of five turned his thoughts back into the room. He went to the table, and taking from the drawer a small bundle of tracts began stamping them with the name of the hall in which the Saints held their meetings and the time of devotional service. He little dreamed at that time of the wonderful mission which one of those simple leaflets would perform.
