Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: October 11, 1906 Elder Hugh R. Sloan of the Irish conference. President Hill writes: More than one Elder returned to Ireland from the Bradford conference thanking the Lord that they had been permitted to attend, and, with renewed zeal, proceeded to don the whole armor of God. They had made up their minds to try and preach the Gospel in the good, old way - without purse or scrip, as recommended by President Ballif. For some time past Elders R. D. Hoagland and H. R. Sloan have been traveling and preaching within a radius of forty miles of Belfast. They report marked success, and say, We never felt better nor enjoyed more of the Spirit of the Lord than we have since we commenced traveling without purse or scrip. The following is Elder Sloan's report: I will give you a brief account of our first trip into the country. Since the conference at Bradford, Elder Roy D. Hoagland and myself have spent some time traveling without purse or scrip. Our first day in the country we met with fair success. About six o'clock in the evening we began to make our wants known to the people, as we distri buted tracts from house to house. It was ten o'clock when a kind widow by the name of Sarah Patton took us in. After telling her our mission, we were treated to a good supper. The meal ended, we spent some time in conversing on the principles of the Gospel and in singing hymns, and then we were shown to our room, which contained a good, feather bed. On arising the following morning, we found our shoes polished and a wholesome breakfast awaiting us. On taking our leave of the kind woman, she bade us God-speed and told us to call again.
