Thomas Condie was a great reader of the Bible and he had a good memory and quoted passages in the Bible to prove, in his own way, that Mormonism was not true but from the devil. In November Elder Sharp was appointed to preside over the branch. He and others came to the house and spent many hours discussing the Bible and the new religion.
“One night a voice repeated to him ‘thrice sundry times’ the scripture found in Isaiah, 54th chapter, last three verses. “15- Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16-Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the ‘waster to destroy’. 17- No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. After this manifestation he had a fervent testimony all of his life. Thomas wanted to emigrate to America with the body of the church.
