Fragments of Experience (1882)

(Volume 6) As other books of the FAITH-PROMOTING SERIES, this book uses vignettes and short histories to leave a spiritual impression upon its youth readers. Included in this book are the narratives of Lorenzo Dow Young (Brigham Young's Brother) and his experiences before joining the Church (visions, dreams, and preaching "Bible religion;") the second mission of William W. Cluff to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) telling of the death and bringing back to life of Lorenzo Snow; the unfortunate success of Walter Murray Gibson and the necessity of removal of the Saints from Lanai and the founding of Laie as a gathering place; the mission of Benjamin F. Johnson to Hawaii and the political impact of the elders on the Hawaiian monarchy and kingdom; and several other accounts of historical and faith-promoting interest. 113 pages
