From the Eastern States Mission: — The men and women who travel, either throughout their own country or in foreign lands, are as a rule a class of people who are coiners of sentiment; and to reach them and tell the true story of "Mormonism" is one of the most successful missions individuals can perform. Salt Lake City and the "Mormons" have been heard of throughout the civilized world; the faith of the Saints is the most talked of, and the least understood, of any religion upon the earth. There is scarcely a traveler, whether American or foreigner, who crosses the American continent without paying a visit to the City of the Saints. The workers at the Bureau of Information, who entertain them and tell them the story of "Mormonism," either by word of mouth, or by the written word, are performing one of the greatest missions of any who are called to labor in the missionary field. Elders laboring throughout the different parts of the world often come in contact with strangers who have been entertained by yourself and colaborers, and upon such occasions there is always a demonstration of your success. You reach the thinking class; you take them by the hand when filled with prejudice; you bid them goodbye with their hearts softened towards God's people, and send them back into the world to break down prejudice against us. May God continue to bless you in your work.
