A Catholic Priest Finds the Bible

WRITING from Iloilo, in the Philippine Islands, where a new work is being opened up, Elder Elbridge M. Adams tells of a native Catholic priest who found a Bible lying on the table in a house that he visited. "Several days he came to read the Book. Noticing the look of sadness on his face, the lady of the house inquired as to its meaning. 'This book,' he said, 'is the Word of God. The things in it are true. If I had known this Word before, I would never have taken oath of allegiance to the Catholic Church.'" "The words of the priest," Brother Adams says, "awakened the woman's interest in her Bible, and she is studying this truth."
