Some members do not realize the twin challenges the British Saints faced of dealing with the disruption of life due to the constant flux of emigrating fellow Saints and the almost constant harassment of fellow countrymen who resented their religion. A chapter is devoted to this topic and its explanation. Elder George A. Smith’s efforts as well as those of David O. McKay are assessed. This volume includes a photographic essay and a discussion of the restoration of the first Latter-day Saint chapel at Gadfield Elm in Worcestershire. Also included is a dialogue regarding the Titanic disaster and its impact on Latter-day Saints.
