Yesterday’s answer:
A Charles A. Callis
brought the missionaries home with him
From the life of Charles Albert
Callis: One evening after dark two men approached a little boy
standing on a bridge in Liverpool, England, and greeted him with smiles and a
cheerful hello. The two strangers, guessing that the child was scarcely eight
years old and thinking he should not be out so late, offered to walk him home.
These gentlemen were Mormon missionaries, and this chance act of kindness
brought them to the door of the boy’s mother, a widow who had four children and
who was willing to listen to the elders’ message of the restored gospel. The
boy Charles A. Callis, was baptized with the rest of his family, and soon
afterward, in 1875, Sister Callis and her children immigrated to Utah. They
settled in Davis Country and then in Coalville, where young Charles grew to
manhood. He had no opportunity for schooling because he labored twelve hours a
day in the coal mines for a meager wage in order to support this widowed
mother.
