Letter from John McCarthy, 22 October 1891
Recd 24 [Oct. 1891] [end of sideways text] Smithfield. Cache Co, Utah. October 22nd 1891. President Woodruff, Dear Brother: I am strongly impressed to write to you; for my time here will not belong, under physical existing circumstance. The Lord said through the lips of the Seer in Kirtland, May 6th 1833. Verily, thus saith the Lord, it shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh their sins and com- eth unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyth my v[o]ice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face: and know that I am. These burning words of divine language I believe as truely as the sun now shines upon me; and if I said that I know it, I might not overstep the bounds of modesty and truth; but it is sufficient at present to say, I truly b^e^leive it. It is said "that all truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placd it to act for itself, as all intelligence olso, otherwise there is ^no^ existence." My experience in this Church for 39 years, differs in some points from some other men; for I was eight months teaching repentance to the nations before I heard the word Mormon; neither did I ever hear of that Book. Elder John Murdock and Charles W. Wandell
