Letter from J. W. Holmes, 20 November 1891
Nicholas C. H. W. Va. . First President, Church of Latter-Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah Ty. Dear Sir: It is not without hesitation that I address this to you. It has been my experience that those in high places in churches are apt to care but little for the good of others. But, nevertheless, I can not but feel certain that I am addressing one who will cheerfully reply to my inquiries. Last May I was put in communication with Elder Stayner, of Washington, D. C. who sent me some tracts and books. Since which time I have been carefully and prayerfully seeking the true light that lighteth every man coming into the world. I have been a member of the Baptist church, which probably comes nearest to the apostolic church of the first days. Nevertheless, that body does not obey Christ's commands in full, and has wandered far from the fountain of Truth. I have tried by seeking to find out God. I have failed to find Him. The Methodist and Presbyterian and all others—in none can I find a place of comfort for my weary heart. God's presence is not with them and they are mere clubs of worldlings.
