Apostasy-
Thomas B. Marsh- John Taylor

|
You
that don't know him, have heard of Thomas B. Marsh, who was formerly
the President of the Twelve Apostles, but who apostatized some years
ago, in Missouri. He is on his way here, a poor, decrepid, broken down,
old man. He has had a paralytic stroke-one of his arms hangs down. He
is coming out here as an object of charity, destitute, without wife,
child, or anything else. He has been an apostate some eighteen years.
Most of you know his history. He has been all the time since then afraid
of his life--afraid the "Mormons"' would kill him; and he
durst not let them know where he was. In meeting with some of the apostates
he said to them, "You don't know what you are about; if you want
to see the fruits of apostasy, look on me." I thought they could
not look on a better example.(John Taylor, JD 5:115) |
