Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: December 7, 1905 This brother immediately began to pay his tithing and his fast offerings, and he gave me something to eat every day, thus showing that the Gospel had taken a firm hold on him. As Alexandretta is a small city, the fact that I had baptized this man soon spread, and some person took the news to the chief of police, who came to me and asked what I was doing. I informed him that I was giving out tracts and making the people acquainted with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. He said to me, You are a Mormon, and the Mormons have no permission to preach in Turkey. I offered him some tracts, and told him that if he would read them he would find the true Gospel of Christ. He took two of our tracts from his pocket and said he would read them. After having a long talk with him, he departed. I continued my work unmolested for a time, and held meetings every Sunday. Shortly afterwards I baptized some more converts, and this had the effect of bringing the chief of police around to me again. He appeared to be very angry, and claimed that I had promised him that I would not give out tracts and would hold no meetings. He told me that he was a Mohammedan, and that he did not believe the doctrines of the Mor mon Church. He said that other Christian Protestants - orthodox and Armenian, had complained against me. I said that I was acquainted with the Turkish laws, and knew that he could not banish an American until he had visited an American Consulate. I also told him that I would not leave the city, because I was going to preach the Gospel there, and that he could go to the Consulate and talk the matter over with the consul. He then left me again, and I went on with my work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
