Joseph thought he would like to join the true church of Christ, but what troubled him was to know which of all these sects was the true church.

He could see that all of them could not be true, as God surely would not have a great many churches, one striving against the other; also, no doubt, he had read in the Bible that there was but "one Lord, one faith, one baptism," etc., which the Lord accepted.

Joseph went first to one meeting, then to another.

His mother and some of his brothers and sisters had joined the Presbyterians, but Joseph could not make up his mind what to do.
But there is a way by which anyone may find out which is the true church and therefore which to join, and every boy and girl that reads this book should remember it.

It is this: Ask God.
