Floyd
Weston was one of five students listening outside a lecture hall where Albert
Einstein was lecturing the faculty of the California Institute of Technology.
Dr. Millikin was President. They listened for almost three hours and were most
interested in Dr. Einstein's last statement to the learned group. He said
"Gentlemen, the more I delve into the sciences of this universe the more firmly
do I believe that one god or force or influence has organized all of this
for our discovery."

One of these
five was a genius, John Vincent Dunbar, extremely high I.Q. and a photographic
mind. He could glance down a page of the Bible, close the book and quote the
page verbatim. They went to Dunbar's room in the dorm and the took the Bible and
read in Ephesians that there shall be one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. They
decided that if Dr. Einstein's last statement was true than one of the more than
800 churches on earth must be God's True Church.

Dunbar, the genius, brought
into their apartment a 16 foot blackboard on casters, cleaned it off with their
wash cloths and went through the New Testament page by page listing all of the
qualitities that God's church, according to the New Testament standards, should
have. Their research was completed in 8 weeks so they went over all the
researched points and after careful study retained 17 of the most important
features and had them typed up on 5X7 cards--one for each.

Before parting company these five, Weston, a Methodist, Dunbar, a
Catholic, Stonehoker, a Presbyterian; Williams, an Episcopalian; and Glassy, an
Atheist, Visited many different churches with their criteria uppermost in their
minds. Weston immediately became disinchanted with his Methodist church and
Bubar's Catholic church was also eliminated. Before their search was completed
they all went to various branches of the armed services. Glassy was shot down
over North Africa and never returned. Weston, in his service work came in
contact with 8 or 10 LDS boys who took him to church-- one which met all 17
requirements. There was no contact with the others until after the was over.

After the war, Weston went to a
Stake Conference in Burbank, California and, on looking across the chapel saw
his friend, Dunbar. After the meeting was over they were overjoyed to greet each
other and Weston said, " Dunbar, what are you doing here?" Dunbar replied, "I
still have my 5X7 cards in my pocket and found the church that met all 17
requirements. I have joined the Mormon Church." After this happy reunion they
decided to contact Stonehocker and Williams and found that they, too, have
joined the Mormon Church because it met all 17 requirements
