August 29, 1854, another responsibility was added to our family in the birth of Willie. He took my mind somewhat from the troubles around me. About this time the first number of the paper falsely called the Messenger of Truth was received. Those who slandered us through that paper had been reproved for their faults and errors. They would not bear reproof, and in a secret manner at first, afterward more openly, used their influence against us. {LS 155.1}

Den 29. august 1854, blev endnu et ansvar lagt til vor familie ved Willies fødsel. Ved den tid blev det første nummer af bladet, der fejlagtigt blev kaldt Sandhedsbudbringeren (The Messenger of Truth), sat i gang. Dem som bagtalte os i dette blad, er blevet irettesat for deres fejl og vildfarelser. De ville ikke tage imod irettesættelse og først på en diskret måde, senere mere åbenlyst, brugte deres indflydelse imod os.
