Portraits of the past: preaching in Chatburn
Kenneth Mays, Kenneth Mays
Elder Heber C. Kimball served two remarkably productive missions to Great Britain. During both missions, he served in the Ribble Valley near Preston, Lancashire. In that region are some quaint little villages including Chatburn, above. At that time, locals felt that residents of those villages were too wicked to respond to the gospel message. Elder Kimball responded that he was not to call the righteous to repentance -- but sinners. Consequently, Elder Kimball and his companion went to work and experienced great success. The owners of the Brown Cow tavern affirm that it was standing at the time Elder Kimball served in Chatburn. Photo by Kenneth Mays
