We have published another edition of "The Voice of Joseph," which is
revised from the Italian, and commenced to send it abroad among the
people, hoping much good may result from its instrumentality. Also an
edition of the "Ancient Gospel Restored" (originally entitled "The Only
Way to be Saved"), in French, and another in Italian. This little work
is now published, and in a few days will be circulating here in four
different languages. The Elders in Bombay and Calcutta will be supplied
with publications from here, immediately upon learning their address;
also a little more acquaintance with the ins and outs between this and
Italy, and we can supply Elders Malan and the Saints in Piedmont, also
the Saints in Switzerland.
People are now constantly making calls to inquire concerning this
"strange religion." A few evenings since we had at one time, at our
private lodgings, gentlemen from eight different nations, having come
from various parts of the city to hold conversation concerning our
doctrines; among the number were those from Poland and Greece, who
are now reading our works with peculiar interest. Two intelligent and
enterprising young men, the first fruits of our ministry upon this
island, will ably assist in moving forward the cause in which we are
engaged; one of them we have ordained an Elder--he speaks several
languages fluently.
Since our arrival, the slanderous reports of the United States
"Judges," from Great Salt Lake City, through the medium of the French
and English newspapers, obtain lively circulation, losing nothing
by importation. Yet they serve us some good purpose by awakening
curiosity, and sending many visitors, whereby we have increased
opportunities of announcing our principles.
Elder Woodard, as soon as his services can be dispensed with here, will
return to the assistance of Elder Malan, in Italy, leaving the work
in this place in charge of Elder Obray. My European mission, on my
departure from these countries, will be under the superintendence of
Elders Stenhouse, Woodard and Obray; the Indian mission will be left
with Elders Findlay, Willis and Joseph Richards. These brethren will
keep up correspondence with the Presidency in Liverpool, from whom they
will receive, from time to time, that instruction and counsel as shall
tend to promote our Master's cause under their directions.
