Yesterday’s answer:
C Defending the Prophet Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
after an anti Mormon speech on his mission
From the life of Moses Thatcher:
Deprived of schooling and lacking confidence, Elder Thatcher found
himself totally unable to speak or pray before a group. After several failures,
his senior companion agreed not to call on him anymore. One day the timid
missionary attended a Methodist service alone. The pastor devoted the sermon to
attacking the characters of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and the Mormon people.
Filled with righteous wrath, Elder Thatcher obtained permission to reply. With
the spirit of the Lord resting on him, he delivered an eloquent and powerful
defense of this Prophet and people and a scathing rebuke of the minister. From
that day forward his tongue was loosed and he eventually became one of the most
effective orators in the Church.
