Come, Come Ye Saints

For those who missed the recital, here is a tape of the Encore performance. Kayson gave a very touching farewell performance of his own arrangement of Come, Come Ye Saints. It was clear that during the nearly six years that Kayson was able to perform on the John Toone's Cello, he very much connected to this instrument.

Enjoy!

John Toone's Missionary Journal is On-Line

I have posted the transcription of the Missionary Journal of John Toone that was done by Michelle Richins McKnight under the direction of the John Toone Family Organization in June 1997. The original journal is in the Church Archives.

This journal covers his mission in England from 8 May 1854 - 13 September 1856.

There are two versions:
