Told by Edward Stevenson:
"During the Prophet's
visit [to Pontiac], he came to our house.
My heart swelled with love as I selected and presented him with some of
our choice apples. While looking over
our copy of a large English Book of Martyrs, he expressed sympathy for the
Christian martyrs and a hope for their salvation. He asked to borrow the book, promising to
return it when he should meet us again in Missouri.
On returning it he said, "I have, by the
aid of the Urim and Thummim, seen those martyrs. They were honest, devoted followers of
Christ, according to the light they possessed.
They will be saved."

The Prophet, p. 85.
