The following
from Wilford Woodruff:
On the 27th of March, I arrived at Memphis,
weary and hungry. I went to the best tavern in the place, kept by Mr. Josiah
Jackson. I told him I was a stranger, and had no money. I asked him if he would
keep me over night.
He inquired of me what my business was.
I told him I was a preacher of the gospel.
He laughed and said that I did not look much like a
preacher.
I did not blame him, as all the preachers he had ever
been acquainted with rode on fine horses or in fine carriages, clothed in
broadcloth, and had large salaries, and would see this whole world sink to
perdition before they would wade through one hundred and seventy miles of mud
to save the people.
