1913-08-Improvement Era-Elders George C Brinkerhoff and J H Parker

Improvement Era, v16 n10, August 1913, p. 1031.

Elders George C. Brinkerhoff and J. H. Parker send the Era a copy of the Bridgeport "Sunday Post" containing a hall page illustrated article and interview in which the mission of the elders to Bridgeport, Conn., is fairly set forth and explanation made of their labors and the purpose of their mission, as well as some of the doctrines of the Church. The elders state that the work is new in that place yet, but they have some friends who are investigating and they feel that their efforts are being rewarded. Elder Brinkerhoff adds: "Brother George B. Davis was here the past week with the illustrated lecture, 'The Rise and Growth of 'Mormonism.' " He held two lectures and they were enjoyed by all who saw them. They are a great help in making friends. One lady made this remark: 'You ought to be proud that you are "Mormons" if those pictures are true,' which she did not doubt. We feel that the gospel seeds being planted here will bear fruit some time."
