1912-12-Improvement Era-Elders Albert J Newman

Improvement Era, v16 n2, December 1912, pp. 172-173.

Elders Albert J. Newman, Murray, Utah, and E. Glen Green, Kaysville, Utah, write from Trenton, New Jersey, Sept. 4, 1912: "We have friends at Plainfield, in the New Jersey conference, whom we have visited a number of times this summer. Their study of the gospel has made great changes for the better in a number of their homes. We are meeting with large opposition there. A minister, named Bascom, of Logan, Utah, rehashed the article which appears in Everybody's magazine, and added a few more false statements, on Sunday evening, August 25, and he succeeded in stirring the people against us to such extent that they threatened to throw us out of the church when we asked permission to refute his false statements. Recently we were turned away from the camp meeting of the Holy Jumpers. We asked for entertainment for the evening, but were refused and handed a paper containing some of Hans Peter Freece's articles against us. Three of the congregation, however, walked home with us, and asked us questions on the way, and we made friends of them."
