21, 1839, two Scotsmen, Alexander Wright and Samuel Mulliner, met at the home of a Mormon family in New York. Under the direction of Wilford Woodruff at this meeting and Parley P. Pratt at a subsequent meeting, plans were made to take the message of the "restored gospel" to the land of John Knox and the Covenanters. To Wright and Mulliner, both recent converts, fell the task of opening up their homeland as a field of Mormon missionary activities. 1 N OCTOBER
